| Request/Subject |
| Amendment No. 1 Population Health Policy Initiative Intergovernmental Agreement (Contract No. ADHS12-021335) with Arizona Department of Health Services. |
| Background Information |
| The Arizona Department of Health Services (ADHS) Bureau of Tobacco and Chronic Disease (BTCD), Bureau of Nutrition and Physical Activity (BNPA), and Bureau of Women’s & Children’s Health (BWCH) administers funds provided through tobacco tax chronic disease funding, Women, Infants & Children (WIC) lottery, and Title V Maternal & Child Health (MCH) Block Grant to support preventative health policies. The overall goal of the Division of Public Health Prevention Services is to protect and improve the public’s health through prevention and control of disease and disability. This goal is accomplished through the support of local and national partners to improve the health and well-being of Arizonians through preventative health policy, system, and environmental change initiatives in Arizona communities. The original Contract signed by BOS on June 26, 2012. The amendment No. 1 will extend the contract to June 30, 2015. The contract is amended from 4 units totaling $43,748.00 to adding one additional unit at $10,937.00 for a total award of $54,685.00. |
| Evaluation |
| The preventative health policy, system, and environmental change intergovernmental agreements (IGAs) will fund three-year collaborative efforts at the Cunty level that can result in increased health policy capacity and implementation in the areas of procurement policies, work site wellness, school health, clinical care, and community design by promoting healthy lifestyles. This renewal of agreements will extend the services until June 30, 2015, when the program may be intergrated into a collaborative IGA with all prevention programs. |
| Conclusion |
| The IGA will address a variety of evidence-based strategies designed to impact policy, system, and environmental change at the community, organizational, individual, and policy levels in order to promote county-wide health changes so that public health impact will be maximized. Counties are expected to implement at multiple levels in accordance with local community needs and should emphasize complementary policy, environmental, programmatic, and infrastructure activities that integrate and build on each other to optimize health improvements. Strategies that influence policy, change organizational practices, and foster coalitions are required and must include one of the following required target strategies: procurement policies, work site wellness, school health, clinical care, and community design by promoting healthy lifestyles. Gila County will target strategies to address work site wellness. |

| The Health and Emergency Services Division Director recommends that the Board of Supervisors approve Amendment No. 1 to the Gila County Population Health Policy Initiative Intergovernmental Agreement between the Arizona Department of Health Services and Gila County Division of Health and Emergency Services in the amount of $54,685.00. |
