Hi Diane:
Wearing my 'hat' as Chair of the Ontario Hospital Health Promotion Network,
I believe that there is a TON of activity going on in this area across the
Province, particularly if you look through the 'lens' of Hospital-Community
Collaboration. Much of the work is 'under the radar', as rarely is there one
point person at either a hospital or at public health units that
'coordinates' or knows about all the collaborative work that individual
health unit and hospital staff are doing in the community in the area of
disease prevention, determinants of health, etc. 

For example, in Peel and Mississauga, we have a number of projects 'on the
go' (either in development or already in the implementation phase) that are
in partnership or collaboration with Peel Health, community agencies (e.g.
Rec and Parks), and ourselves the hospital (Trillium Health Centre), that
are related to chronic conditions and the integration of health promotion or
chronic disease prevention.  Here are just a few that I know of: 

E.g. Consumer Health Information Physician Channel Project (in partnership
with Peel Health to distribute CHI in Physicians offices)
E.g. Mississauga Child & Youth Obesity Partnership Project (in partnership
with Miss. Rec & Parks, YMCA-Miss., Get Active Mississauga, Healthy Living
Peel, Trillium Health Centre)
E.g. Mississauga Consumer Health Information Consortium (in partnership with
Peel Health, Mississauga Library, UofT-Mississauga, AstraZeneca, Trillium
Health Centre, Credit Valley Hospital)
E.g. Marginalized Women and Stroke Project (Peel Health, the Ontario Women's
Health Network, community agencies serving South Asian women)
E.g. Lay Health Educator Breast Screening Program Project (Peel Health,
Trillium Health Centre, community agencies serving South Asian women)
E.g. Smoking Cessation pilot partnership project in Cardiac Health System
(with Peel Health)
E.g. PRIISME Chronic Disease Management Projects (Asthma, COPD, CHF and
Diabetes) - Peel Health is on the Steering Committee

and Management

Hi Diane,
It would be great to have a mental health example. I don't have one but  I'm
sure that someone at the Royal Ottawa might be able to help here. There are
lots of comorbidities with mental illness such as cardiovascular and
depression or bipolar and healthy weights.
