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.
