likely to be overweight. The monument corridor is a predominantly Latino neighborhood
with a high need for an intervention for its overweight, school aged children and their
families. Monument New Kids is the only program of its kind in Central Contra Costa
County. The program is collaboration between Community Wellness and Prevention
Program (CW&PP), Public Health Clinic Services and Ambulatory Care. Funding for this
project will continue to mirror the success of our East County New Kids Project and
decrease the rates of overweight among children ages 6 – 14 in the monument neighborhood
of concord by providing culturally competent, linguistically appropriate and accessible
prevention and intervention programs. On September 23, 2008, the Board of Supervisors
approved grant award from Kaiser Permanente Community Benefits Program, for the period
from July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009.
Approval of Grant Award #28-774-2 will provide to allow the County to continue the
Concord Monument New Kids Project through June 30, 2010.
Three sealed and certified copies of the Board should be returned to the Contracts and
Grants Unit.
