2. Preventive Health Care
Develop a community-wide program for preventive health care, considering childhood obesity, diabetes or prenatal care and distribute through schools and other community/neighborhood partners. (Key elements may include personal/parental responsibility, infrastructure for delivery of service, grassroots/door-to-door campaign using old Polio model or neighborhood champions.)

Cliff - You will remember from the Visioning Steering Committee meetings last year that Dr. Paul Keckley from Deloitte Health Solutions shared this slide with us several times as he talked about the need for communities to bring HEALTH and HUMAN SERVICES closer together to reach those more disadvantaged populations in our communities that may only access routine health care through community health services of some kind. Nationally 22% of the population receives health care from traditional physician/hospital or ambulatory/ancillary/complementary care, while 28% either or not seen or do not have needs. The remaining 50% are seen through community based health and human services. That is what we are talking about in the Dunbar House.

5. Status Report: Barriers/Challenges
30% of residents in N. Fort Myers & Fort Myers (Market Area 2) report experiencing “fair” or “poor” overall health.
Blacks, Hispanics and those at, or immediately above the federal poverty level, experience more than double the rate of “fair” or “poor” overall health vs. Lee County or U.S. overall
NOT trying to be all things to all people
NOT trying to always create a new program to meet the needs
Finding who has the expertise and learning to work together
Making partnerships more than a Memo of Understanding
Cliff – Our fundamental challenge shows in the PRC data from last year. Remember that our data for Lee County tells us that Market Area 2, Fort Myers and North Fort Myers, has more than 30% of the people experiencing Fair or Poor overall Health. This is true even though Lee county on average overall is similar to the US.
And we also see in Lee County that racial minorities (Blacks and Hispanics) as well as those at or immediately above the Federal Poverty Level, experience even higher fair or poor overall health…more than double the levels for the average US and Lee County populations. The new model of the neighborhood United Way House is designed to address these current needs in Lee County and the way the model works is through collaboration.

6. Status Report: Critical Success Factors
