Hi Blake, I just returned form Toronto where I met with Michael Goodstandt.
 The following will provide a brief description of my company and how we
might be of assistance to you.  Pardon my soap box: My goal, all be it
lofty, is to create a international understanding and definition of "health
promotion" consistant with the international community, not the limited US
worksite focus.  I could continue, but I'll stop.  Anyway, providing an
international forum for employment opportunities is the beginning......
Have a good weekend.

Health Promotion Recruiters International Incorporated (HPRI) is an e-mail
based information and employment service specifically for the health
promotion field.  We maintain a confidential database of health promotion
professionals in the US and abroad who are interested in new employment
opportunities.

To post a position to the database is inexpensive and easy.
There is no charge to be included in the database. Contact Michaela Conley

Subject: looking for co-investigator
Date: Thursday, August 07, 1997 2:36 PM

The Hospital-based Network in Support of Community Action (based in
Toronto, Canada) is developing a proposal (to submit to for funding this
fall) to examine the role of hospitals in community development/community
action in health. We anticipate that this will comprise 10 in-depth
qualitative case studies in 2 Canadian provinces (Ontario, Alberta) and a
national survey of hospitals. Since survey research is not really my area
of expertise, we are looking for someone with that specialization, strong
academic credentials, and an interest in community-hospital
partnerships/relations or at least the community side of health care, to be
a co-investigator or to act in consultant role vis a vis this component of
the study (re survey design, analysis). Being based in Ontario would be an
asset, but we are open to considering others. Any ideas on who we might
approach?  Please contact me directly at <[log in to unmask]>

(ps info on case studies or literature on hospital-based community
development would also be welcomed  - it seems that much is starting to be
done in this area, but as yet little of it has been written up in the
literature).
