Where we are now: • Defined Community: People who live, work, and play in our eight counties. • Formed Core Team: 8 HD reps, 8 community reps: • three hospital, two extension, one minister, one RPC/mental health, one education • Selected CHA model: MAPP • (and will incorporate others - Change Tool, ACHI, PACE-EH) • Scheduled Monthly Core Team and Standards meetings • Completing Circle of Involvement for region • Planning regional visioning session for November
Anticipated Barriers/Issues • Recruitment: Explaining “why regional” to local constituents • Travel and staff time commitment • Complexity of regional involvement and assessment • Tailoring plans to be meaningful both regionally and locally and in some cases, at the agency level • Financial costs • Naysayers and government leaders who aren’t supportive of public health
Benefits of Project • National Experts provide training and assistance/$35,000 • Twelve sites to share experiences and issues • Spin off projects • Shared responsibility and expenses across the counties to lessen the burden on any one HD • Pooled data increases validity/consistency • Timeline and expectations to keep us moving forward • Reduces burden on other agencies that provide services regionally • Opportunity to increase recognized value of PH among community members
