  2. History of the Partnership • Last community assessment for the city was done in 1995 • Role of partnership as the health advisory committee to the Mayor • University leadership role • Limited success in obtaining grant support (Institute for the Elimination of Health Disparities) • In 2005 NJ counties were engaged in MAPP (Mobilizing Around Partnerships and Planning) and writing Community Health Improvement Plans (CHIP). For Camden County this included: • Prioritization of health issues with special focus on the city • BRFSS study with an oversample in the city of Camden

  11. Challenges …. In 2003 almost all residents can identify a primary health care provider and 93% of residents report having health insurance. So….why are so many residents still utilizing the Emergency Departments every year? One out of two residents use the ED for care.

  12. Setting Health Goals • Created spreadsheet with data from the 11 studies • Partners worked through all of the data (where there were overlaps and what were priorities) and identified Five General Categories: • Community Health/Healthy Lifestyles • Family Health and Parenting Concerns • Safety and Violence Prevention • Mental Health • Environmental Health Concerns

  13. Creating Action Plans • Action planning grids were developed based on MAPP design. • Teams then identified “actionable” items that aligned with partner agencies’ agendas • All data/reports were put on CD as well as posted online at www.camconnect.org • Executive Summary was developed for the community

  15. Year One Camden City Health Priorities • Community HealthDiabetes (Obesity, Physical Activity, Nutrition) and Cancer • Environmental HealthLead Poisoning and Asthma • Safety & Violence PreventionStreet Violence • Mental HealthDepression • Family Health Adolescent Pregnancy

  16. Efforts to Address Camden City Health Priorities • All five priorities • Creation of Camden High School Public Health Club which focuses on our priorities • Cable TV public health series on how to access resources • Diabetes/Obesity and Nutrition • Farmer’s Markets • Coalition of HealthCare Providers -Merck Grant formed Diabetes Collaborative • Health Information Exchange Coordination of Treatment • Partnership grant applications for Community Putting Prevention to Work • Mental Health Open Community Forums on Dual Diagnosis (Mental Health and Substance Abuse) and Integration of Care. • Environment Camden City designated as NJ Model Lead-Safe City • Safety and Violence Prevention Mayor’s Prevention of Youth Violence Program-Campaign Against Youth Violence as a Public Health Problem

  17. 2009 Public Health Cable TV Series • Dateline: Education Moderated by Bart Leff • Cable Channel 19 • Adolescent Pregnancy • Diabetes--Nutrition/Physical exercise/Obesity • Public Safety and Street Violence • Lead Prevention • Mental Health-Depression • DVDs in clinics & physician waiting rooms • Follow-up booklets on each topic distributed throughout the city & posted online at www.camconnect.org

  18. Lessons Learned • Targeted efforts must not only inform the community about the issue but also how to access available resources • Because not all priorities can be accomplished in Year One…set goals for Year Two • Start where resources are available and build. This includes staff resources and money • Use the community health needs assessment priorities for seeking grant funding • There is essential support in partnering with academic health centers (school of public health) • Educate the community to use available benchmarks whenever possible • There is strength in the value of the partnership • Push forward despite limitations progress will begin to take shape
