I. Congressional Budget Process Update
The House of Representatives will not take up a regular five-year budget resolution this year. Instead, the House will consider a one-year budget enforcement or "deeming" resolution that will set limits on discretionary program spending for the 12 annual appropriations bills for the coming year. On Thursday evening, June 30, 2010, the House of Representatives passed its version of the Supplemental Spending Bill, which included the budget "deeming" resolution capping the FY 2011 discretionary spending at $7 billion below the President's budget request.
While the Senate Budget Committee passed a five-year budget resolution earlier this spring, Senate Budget Committee Chairman Kent Conrad (D-N.D.) has signaled the Senate will likely follow the House and move forward with a one-year plan as well. Differences between the House and Senate supplemental bills will need to be resolved before the appropriations process can move forward in earnest as issues could arise in the future if there is no agreement on the overall amount for discretionary spending for FY 2011.
House Democrats have tried for weeks to reconcile the desire for spending cuts from more fiscally conservative members of their caucus and rank-and-file Democrats who fear that such cuts could have too great of a negative impact on domestic programs such as health, education and other Democratic priorities.

APHA has been actively advocating for increased funding for federal public health spending as well as for specific increases for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the Health Resources and Services Administration, our testimony to the Senate and House Appropriations Subcommittees on Labor, Health and Human Services and Education is available online. You can send a message to your Representative and Senators urging them to provide strong funding for CDC and HRSA by visiting APHA's Take Action page online. 

II. Senate Rejects Effort to Restrict EPA Greenhouse Gas Regulations
On June 10, 2010, the U.S. Senate voted 47-53 against proceeding to consideration of a resolution sponsored by Senator Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska) that would have overturned the EPA's finding that greenhouse gases (GHG) are hazardous to human health. The so-called "endangerment finding" by EPA relates to six key greenhouse gases which contribute to climate change - carbon dioxide, methane, nitrous oxide, hydrofluorocarbons, perfluorocarbons, and sulfur hexafluoride in the atmosphere. The EPA decision finds that current and future concentrations of these gases threaten the public health and welfare of Americans. The health effects of climate change include: increased likelihood of more frequent and intense heat waves, more wildfires, degraded air quality, more flooding, increased drought, more intense storms, harm to water resources and harm to agriculture. An April 2007 Supreme Court decision required EPA to make a determination of whether there was compelling scientific evidence that greenhouse gases threatened public health and welfare. The resolution introduced by Senator Murkowski would effectively block the EPA from regulating greenhouse gases under the Clean Air Act.

Led by APHA, twelve health organizations joined together in February in sending a letter to all members of the United States Senate urging Senators to oppose Murkowski's resolution. The letter was resent to all Senate offices leading up to the June 10 vote.

You can view the letter opposing the resolution spearheaded by APHA as well as APHA's press release applauding the Senate for rejecting the resolution.

III. FDA Begins Implementation of Tobacco Regulations
On Tuesday, June 22, 2010, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) began implementation of the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act, which gives the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) the authority to effectively regulate the manufacturing, marketing, and sales of tobacco products. The implementation dates marks the one year anniversary of the enactment of this historic public health legislation. APHA and numerous other health and child advocacy organizations spent years advocating for passage of the legislation.

Key provisions that will be implemented under the new law include: 
- Use of the words "light," "low," and "mild," that mislead consumers into believing that certain cigarettes are safer are prohibited. 
- Larger, stronger warning labels are now required on all smokeless tobacco packages. 
- Vending machines will no longer sell cigarettes or smokeless tobacco products except in adult-only facilities. 
- Outdoor advertising of cigarettes within 1,000 feet of schools, parks, or playgrounds is prohibited. 
- The distribution of free samples of cigarettes is no longer permitted.
- Tobacco companies must now disclose the contents and health effects of tobacco products. 
- Candy and fruit-flavored cigarettes are now banned.
- Advertising must be black text on a white background only, and audio ads may not include sound effects or music, except in adult-only facilities.
- No branded products, such as t-shirts, will be sold in conjunction with cigarette purchases. 
- Marketing and sales to youth will be more strongly regulated.
- Sponsorship of any athletic, musical or other social or cultural events by a tobacco brand name is no longer allowed.

IV. Congress Investigating the Public Health Consequences of Gulf Oil Leak
During the week of June 14, 2010, hearings on the health effects of the BP oil spill in the Gulf were held in the House and Senate. The Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee (HELP) and the House Energy and Commerce Committee (E&C) hearings focused on the long term effects of the disaster in the Gulf. Witnesses included representatives from government agencies ranging from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), the National Institutes of Health (NIH), and other representatives from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). Citing the lack of information available relating to worker health consequences due to clean-up efforts after the attacks of September 11, 2001, members called for an extensive and thorough study to be conducted on the health impacts on the workers involved in the Gulf oil clean-up efforts.
During the Senate HELP Committee hearing, Chairman Harkin (D-Iowa) and Ranking Member Enzi (R-Wyo.) called for officials to make known what is and is not a risk to the American public; to reopen fisheries safely and efficiently; and to closely monitor the health of workers. Since the hearings, reports indicate that BP has been more responsive to CDC requests for worker information.

Hearing transcripts and testimony are available on the committee websites at:Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions Committee and House Energy and Commerce Committee.

V. FMAP Extension Efforts Fail

After a failed third attempt on June 24, 2010, to advance legislation extending unemployment benefits through November toward passage on the Senate floor, options for extending Federal Medical Assistance Percentage (FMAP) funding, which was included in the legislation, appear to have stalled.

APHA supported the FMAP funding extension and encouraged its members to write to their Senators to support the extension in the hopes of preventing severe cuts to state Medicaid programs, which ultimately limits access to quality, affordable health services for millions of Americans.

The Senate was three votes shy of the necessary 60 votes to end debate and move the bill to final vote, with Senator Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) joining the Republicans in opposition.

VI. APHA Sponsors Climate and Health Briefing
On June 24, 2010, APHA and the Consortium for Ocean Leadership cosponsored House and Senate staff briefings regarding a newly released report that outlines the research needs on the human health effects of climate change titled "A Human Health Perspective On Climate Change." The report was released by the Interagency Working Group on Climate Change and Health. The report was published by Environmental Health Perspectives and the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences.

Participants in the briefing included: Dr. Christopher Portier, National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences, Dr. George Luber, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Ms. Juli Trtanj, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration and Dr. Charles L. Walthall, United States Department of Agriculture.

Representative Lois Capps (D-Calif.) and Senator Tom Udall (D-N.M.), two Congressional champions on the issue of climate change and health, served as honorary hosts of the event.

You can view the report and the Interagency report and the PowerPoint presentations from the briefing on APHA's newly launched Environmental Public Health website.  

VII. APHA and Partner Efforts to Include Public Health Jobs in Jobs Legislation
In 2008-2009, state and local health departments lost 25,500 jobs - approximately 15 percent of their workforce. Tens of thousands of other public health professionals have been forced to work reduced hours, at a time when demands on the public health sector are increasing.

APHA has been working with the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), the Association of State and Territorial Health Officials (ASTHO), and Trust for America's Health (TFAH) to encourage the inclusion of state and local health department employees among other public sector and public safety employees who would be put back to work through jobs legislation crafted by Congress.

On June 30, 2010, NACCHO sponsored a Congressional briefing on the need to save public health jobs across the nation in order to promote and protect the health of America. APHA Executive Director, Georges C. Benjamin, joined a panel of public health leaders speaking to the critical role state and local health department employees play in securing the public health protections for our nation's communities.

Other speakers at the briefing included: Congressman Robert E. Andrews (D-NJ), Chair of the Health, Employment, Labor and Pensions Subcommittee of the U.S. House Committee on Education and Labor; Robert M. Pestronk, Executive Director, NACCHO (Moderator); Terrance Allan, Health Commissioner, Cuyahoga County Board of Health, OH; and Peter L. Beilenson, MD, Health Officer, Howard County, MD.

You can write to your Senators encouraging them to support the inclusion of state and local health department employees as part of jobs legislation by visiting APHA's Take Action page online.

IX. National Prevention, Health Promotion and Public Health Council 2010 Annual Status Report
The National Prevention, Health Promotion and Public Health Council created by the Affordable Care Act, released its 2010 Annual Status Report on June 30. The report was transmitted to Congress. The Council is chaired by Surgeon General Regina Benjamin and includes representatives from a number of federal agencies including the Departments of Health and Human Services, Agriculture, Labor, Transportation and others. The Council will also include an Advisory group of 25 non-federal members from the public and private sectors who are engaged in prevention and wellness programs and activities.report on the HHS website.

X. Policy Watch: Public Health News From the States
Connecticut Becomes the First State to Expand its Medicaid Program Under the Affordable Care Act

The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services approved Connecticut's proposal to expand its Medicaid program under the Affordable Care Act on June 21, 2010. The Affordable Care Act, signed into law by President Obama on March 23, 2010, permits states to receive federal funding for providing Medicaid coverage to adults with incomes up to 133 percent of the federal poverty level, or $14,400 for an individual in 2010. Under the Affordable Care Act, states are required to expand their Medicaid program in 2014 but have the option to apply for early expansion. Connecticut estimates that it will be able to cover 45,000 adults under this new expanded Medicaid program. Heath and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius commended both Governor M. Jodi Rell and the Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services for their commitment and "speedy action" to expanding coverage.

Subject: [Health_Education_Promotion] Section Meeting Recap - WORKSITE
	WELLNESS
Message-ID: <4C6BDC57.35D2.0040.0@DHS.STATE.OR.US>

Hi everybody! I hope this email finds you all well. 
 
At our section meeting last week, we had representation from local and state programs including: Oral Health, Environmental Health, Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention, Cancer and Chronic Disease Prevention and WIC. 
 
Cathryn Cushing, the Lead for Worksite Wellness (WW) at the State Health Department gave a brief summary on the history of WW from a funding, policy and organizational standpoint including the assessment tools that were used to gather data in junction with PEBB. She discussed The Governor's Wellness Initiative and how WW is being promoted on a broad scale across the state. She described the policies that are currently in place here at the state, and highlighted the importance of getting buy-in from leadership and to have WW activities happen during work time. Here is a link to their webpage: 
 
http://www.oregon.gov/DHS/ph/worksites/index.shtml 
 
After a brief overview on the 12 counties that are currently implementing healthy community programs, we had the opportunity to hear specifics from one county; POLK.
 
Randi Phillips, Polk County's Health Department Administrator, presented on their latest WW initiative The Biggest Loser Challenge. This friendly competition has peeked much interest among staff and at the time of our meeting, the dept. as  whole had lost 3.5% of their body weight. Apparently they are using an internal website to post their results and are providing opportunities for everyone to participate, although not forcing anyone to do so of course. Although Randi did not have the resources or time to organize lunch time presenters to compliment the The Biggest Loser Challenge, as a section we discussed how great it would be if we combined resources so that as a section we could assist one another with our WW efforts. In the past months, Randi had helped coordinate monthly walking challenges for staff, using http://www.gmap-pedometer.com/ to assist staff with tracking their mileage since pedometers were too expensive. 
Finally, I briefly described some attempts I am making in encouraging people to get up and stretch throughout the day, including email "spontaneous stretch breaks" using stretches from an Exercise guide that is available for free at http://www.yogatg.com/ys-office-1.html. 
 
This was a really inspiring meeting and lots of additional WW ideas were discussed. Thanks to all who were able to participate!
 
I look forward to continuing our conversations at our next meeting, scheduled at this year's OPHA Annual Conference. Please let me know if you have any comments or questions. 
 
Other WW resources:
California WIC has a pretty amazing Worksite Wellness site...check it out.

Hi all,
 
See below, this person is requesting vendors and resources for a health fair. This request came in through our Public Health Division website, just thought I'd pass it along in case anyone was interested. It sounds like they are looking for individual health information, rather than public health.

One of our companies is  having their health fair October 26th in the Portland area.  I am looking for health fair vendors/resources in your area and was hoping you could help me. And if you are not the person that can help, do you know who I need to contact?  If so please forward that contact information. 
 
 Do you have a relationship/contact  for the following? (or can you refer me to someone that does)
 
-American Cancer Society 
-American Heart Association 
-The American Red Cross
-YMCA
-Health care specialists (e.g. podiatrists, opticians, dieticians/nutritionists) that want to promote their services
-Food suppliers
-Local chiropractors or chiropractic college etc. that want to promote their services & offer a spinal screening, posture screening, neck/back chair massage etc.
-And any other demonstrations, and educational materials

Join us for a film screening of 'FLOW - For the Love of Tap Water'
Dear Upstream Friends,
Please join us next Tuesday for a casual happy hour screening of  FLOW - For the Love of Tap Water. Alex Ganum of Upright Brewing has graciously agreed to open his tasting room the hours before.
Last week the Oregonian printed this article on Nestle's recent bid to tap a Columbia Gorge spring near Cascade Locks. The public comment period will remain open until September 30th on this proposal. We'll be screening this film to provide some background on the impact of bottled water on our environment and on our health. This is a truly fantastic film - so spread the word!

Please bring your own pillow or lawn chair, or be prepared to kick it to the floor. Upright Brewing has agreed to open their tasting room in the basement from 5-6 PM for a special tasting room hour, and then we will be watching the film from 6-7:30 PM.
WHAT:  FLOW - For the Love of Water, a new film by Irena Salina
WHEN: Tuesday, September 21st 6-8 PM (the public comment period for the Nestle bid ends Sept 30th)
WHERE: Leftbank building, 240 N Broadway - large makeshift theater in the basement (bring a pillow, or folding chair)
Hope to see you there!

240 N. Broadway St.
Suite 201

Hello Friends and Colleagues,
 
If you are interested in participating on the HITOC Consumer Advisory Panel, please view the full announcement and contact information using either the attachment or web link listed below. This information is time sensitive and needs your response by Thursday, September 24, 2010. Thanks in advance for your timely consideration.

HITOC has worked with many stakeholders during the planning process for health information exchange, but as part of the next phase it is essential to have a strong consumer voice at the table to provide strategy input and recommendations to HITOC as policies are being considered. 
 
To help facilitate regular input, HITOC has announced the formation of a Consumer Advisory Panel. Applications are now being accepted, with the initial round of applications being accepted through September 24. HITOC is planning on making initial appointments at its October meeting.
 
The Consumer Advisory Panel will ensure that conversations about health information exchange in Oregon have a strong patient-centric view. Oregon's HIE vision is to have "Information, when and where it is needed, to improve health and health care," and for consumers to have control over their information through an opt-out consent model.
 
I have attached a flyer with some additional information and background. You can find more information, including the application for the Consumer Advisory Panel, at http://www.oregon.gov/OHPPR/HITOC/Phase_1/Workgroups/WG_AP_Announcement.shtml.
 
I hope that you will share this opportunity with members of your organization. HITOC is looking forward to appointing a strong group of consumers before the first meeting of the Consumer Advisory Panel in early November.
 
Please let me know if you have any questions, or need additional information.
 
Sincerely,
 
 
Carol Robinson
