Purpose/Goals: |
As a
result of the June 2004 Hanley Forum, the Maine Center for Public
Health convened a group of interested provider organizations and
began a dialogue on ways to promote healthy weight across our
state. On May 6th
of 2005, numerous representatives from Maine provider organizations
attended a strategic discussion in Yarmouth with Dr. Bill Dietz from
the Centers of Disease Control & Prevention. The goal was to
identify one or two cross cutting activities to be undertaken by
provider organizations as a whole. As a result of that afternoon, a
sub-group of attendees created a
“Weighing Action”
workgroup . The workgroup
has met several times over the last few months and developed the
attached packet of tools and statement of organizational commitment
to help promote healthy weight across our state.
