Accept the $10 ,000 contribution ( $2,500 per quarter during
1989-90 Fiscal Year) from the Contra Costa Health Coalition
for the work program of the Contra Costa Food and Nutrition
Policy Consortium as recommended by the Health Service
Department.
BACKGROUND:
The Board of Supervisors approved a year ago recommendations
for the Contra Costa Health Coalition (CCHC) and the County
Public and Environmental Health Advisory Board to launch a
nutrition awareness campaign as a key strategy to prevent
certain chronic illnesses and central rising medical costs.
The nutrition awareness campaign was launched in March,
including sponsorship of a nutrition labeling bill (authored
by Assemblyman Campbell) .
The Contra Costa Food and Nutrition Policy Consortium is
staffed by the Health Services Department' s Prevention
Program. Its work is consistent with the goals of the
Contra Costa Health Coalition. The CCHC Board of Directors
has voted unanimously to contribute $10,000 in the current
fiscal year through a formal contract to further the work of
the Consortium. The $10 ,000 is comprised of funds froma
San Francisco Foundation grant and other CCHC income. The
CCHC Board of Directors determined this would be an
efficient and effective way to coordinate and optimize the
use of limited resources in promoting nutrition awareness.
