Very little information is available about the health status and needs of the
East County region, with its burgeoning multi-ethnic population, although key
community leaders',recognize that certain groups of their community, particularly
the refugee, immigrant and farm worker populations, are at high risk for serious
medical problems.
Approval of the funding application for the "East County Assessment and
Mobilization Project" (TECAMP) will allow the Health Services Prevention Program
to work in collabc.ration with the Public and Environmental Health Advisory Board,
the California Department of Health Services and several East County community-
based agencies, to conduct a health-related needs assessment and problem
analysis, focusiTig on the low-income, under-served families and adults in the
Pittsburg/West Pittsburg, and Brentwood/Oakley areas of the County.
In order to meet the deadline for submission, the application has been forwarded
to the State, but subject to Board approval. Nine certified copies of the Board
Order authorizing submission of the application should be returned to the
Contracts and Grants Unit.
