Item/Subject: ORDER, authorizing the City Manager to apply for a $185,000 grant from the
AsiraZeneca Healthcare Foundation.
Responsible Department: Health & Community Services
Commentary:
This order authorizes the City Manager to apply for a $185,000 grant from the AstraZeneca Healthcare
foundation to provide funding for work with the Eastern Maine Healthcare Systems, Penobscot
Community Health Community Care Teams, and other Beacon sites to reduce rates of cardiovascular
disease in our region through education and on-site services. The approach to reducing cardiovascular
disease will largely emphasize physical activity, nutrition, and reducing tobacco dependence, with some
systems level change and direct service being provided in each area.
The physical activity and nutrition component will look at people in congregate housing; people living
independently or homebound, but relying on community meals; and people living independently and able
to self prepare meals. The tobacco component will focus on providing comprehensive technical assistance
in developing tobacco free cultures within community organizations.
This was reviewed and unanimously recommended for approval by the Government Operations
Committee on March 13, 2012.
