  1.  National cigarette warning labels delayed again... In 2009, a new President Barack Obama signed the Family Tobacco and Smoking Prevention Act.  This act gave the FDA regulatory authority over tobacco products.  It also eliminated certain types of products like flavored cigarettes and stated that any new products would have to be reviewed and approved by the FDA.  Finally, it called for warning labels on cigarette packs much like are used almost all over the globe.  Sadly, tobacco industry lawsuits and involvement in the FDA regulation over the last 12 years has completely stalled most of this work.  Graphic warning labels, previously pushed back quite a few times, have again been postponed, presently to January 14, 2022.  Fingers crossed!

  1.  Sustainable Relationships for Community Health (SRCH) - AWARDS for Seven Communities. After a renewed and rapid application cycle, we are very excited to provide funding and support to all seven communities that applied for SRCH funding for a total amount of just over $290,000 over a six-month period (through June 30,2021).  All funded partners demonstrated innovation, creativity and responsivity to their communities in the current context of the pandemic and surging chronic disease issues.  The funded communities and just a flavor of their work include:
     *   Clatsop County will work in coalition to address health disparities, social determinants of health and create a specific equity-focused chronic disease prevention community plan.
     *   Central Oregon team (Crook, Deschutes and Jefferson counties) will take a regional approach to build-out communications, implement Welld data/billing platform, and train and deploy community leaders all in support of Prevent Diabetes Central Oregon (PDCO).
     *   Hood River County will build out the community-clinical system to support referrals to tobacco cessation specialists.
     *   Linn County will continue work as part of the Regional Health Education Hub (RHEHub) to adapt existing chronic disease self-management programs to virtual delivery and expansion of partners to increase the reach of health education programming.
     *   Confederated Tribe of Siletz Indians will train and deploy individuals to deliver National DPP and DSMES and improve systematic referrals to DPP/DSMES
     *   Tillamook County will continue work on closed-loop referral processes and develop the infrastructure for virtual National DPP classes in English and Spanish. Work will also include creating a plan for implementation of Traditional/Community Health Workers to support prevention and management of chronic diseases for individuals most disparately affected by both COVID-19 and chronic conditions.
