[Health_Education_Promotion] Fwd: Draft Health Improvement Plan and Public Input Survey

[Adrienne P MULLOCK]

------------------------------------------------
Dear Oregon Residents and Stakeholders:
The Oregon Health Improvement Plan is a series of recommendations to improve the lifelong health of Oregonians, prevent chronic disease, and stimulate innovation and collaboration within our communities.  Its focus is on finding ways to ensure people's health long before health care is needed. Its goal is to create environments and systems that provide every Oregonian, regardless of their income, education, or racial/ethnic background, with the opportunity to make healthy choices for themselves and their families.  
To help address these issues, the Oregon Health Policy Board created the Oregon Health Improvement Plan (HIP) Committee in January 2010 with the charge of recommending innovative solutions.  The Oregon Health Policy Board expects recommendations that are actionable within the scope of the Oregon Health Authority and the current economic environment.
Given this charge and context, we are seeking your input as to whether or not you feel the components of the draft plan will move Oregon in the direction for improved health.  We invite you to review the draft plan and complete the Public Input Survey available at http://www.oregon.gov/DHS/ph/hpcdp/hip/index.shtml. 
The results of this survey will be summarized as part of the HIP Committee's presentation to the Oregon Health Policy Board on November 9, 2010.  At that time, the Oregon Health Policy Board will consider the plan and the summarized feedback.  The Board will forward recommendations it approves to the Oregon Health Authority and Legislature.  
Please share this opportunity with others.
We appreciate you taking time to complete the survey which will close at 4:00 p.m. on Friday, October 29, 2010.
Sincerely, 
Tammy Bray and Lila Wickham
Oregon Health Improvement Plan committee Chair and Vice-Chair
