Hello Sylvia,
My name is Lisa Mitchell and I am a Project Coordinator at the Heart Health
Resource Centre in Ontario, Toronto. Specifically our resource centre is
mandated by the Ministry of Health and Long Term Care to support the Ontario
Heart Health Program through increasing the local community capacity of 37
heart health networks to plan, implement and evaluate comprehensive,
multi-risk factor heart health programs. We focus on training,
consultation, resource development and dissemination to assist heart health
networks at the community level. This is slated to be the final year of
program funding, although we in Ontario are hopeful that this program will
take on a new, enhanced life and transform to encompass a broader chronic
disease prevention focus. A number of the heart health networks have
started the process of evolving into chronic disease model.
The majority of these networks are staffed by public health practitioners
and many of the activities/strategies undertaken by networks employ a
population health approach.
I would be pleased to offer you more detailed information if you would like
to connect with me personally.

Subject: Health Promotion and Prevention of Chronic Disease
Request for assistance. I am a University of Alberta MSc Health Promotion
student doing a practicum placement in David Thompson Health Region in
Alberta. The project focuses on Health Promotion and Prevention of Chronic
Disease. The chronic diseases of interest are heart health , diabetes, and
cancer. The modifiable risk factors of interest are exercise, healthy
nutrition, and tobacco reduction. I have been requested to complete an
environmental scan of population health initiatives specific to the diseases
and modifiable risk factors listed above, on a provincial, national, and
international level. I am having difficulty finding information about
population health initiatives at the provincial, national, and international
level. Is anyone able to provide me with suggestions or assistance?
Thank you.
Sylvia Simmons
