From jacqueline.m.villnave at state.or.us Fri Oct 22 07:46:03 2010 From: jacqueline.m.villnave at state.or.us (Jacqueline M VILLNAVE) Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2010 07:46:03 -0700 Subject: [ORDiabCoalition] Draft Health Improvement Plan and Public Input Survey - Posted now! Message-ID: <4CC1413B.4178.00B0.0@DHS.STATE.OR.US> Dear Public Health 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 on the committee website available at http://www.oregon.gov/DHS/ph/hpcdp/hip/index.shtml. (Note- It's a 76 page file, with appendices starting on page 23). 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. 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, HIP Committee Chair Lila Wickham, HIP Committee Vice-chair Jacqueline Villnave, MPH Community Programs Liaison Diabetes Program Coordinator Health Promotion and Chronic Disease Prevention Program Oregon Public Health Services, DHS 800 NE Oregon St., Suite 730 Portland OR 97232-2162 phone 971-673-1039 mobile 503-753-5421 fax 971-673-0994 jacqueline.m.villnave at state.or.us -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
