From DErickson-Irons at yorkhospital.com Fri Apr 23 13:57:05 2010 From: DErickson-Irons at yorkhospital.com (Deborah Erickson-Irons) Date: Fri, 23 Apr 2010 16:57:05 -0400 Subject: [MHTF] Exciting new opportunity Message-ID: <17A53B1947153C429821D51D3DF5DE5C0279A153@yh-is-svmail2.yorkhospital.com> Hello Task Force Members, I was notified today that we have received a small grant, $5,000, from the Maine Health Access Foundation for efforts to integrate the Mental Health System with the Public Health System. The funding is to: 1. reconvene the Mental Health Task Force, 2. educate those in the Public Health System about the Mental Health System and vice versa, and 3. implement some community health education efforts to communicat the relationship between physical activity and depression. Part of the funding will pay for a 3 hr/week coordinator. I will be meeting with Jenny-Jo at CSI to discuss the project and then we'll be sending out an invitation for a luncheon or dinner meeting to provide an overview to the group. I'm looking forward to meeting with you again! All best, Deb Deborah Erickson-Irons Director York Hospital Center for Community Health Promotion 207.439.6504 Mail: 15 Hospital Dr, York ME 03909 Location: 518 US Route One, Kittery, ME 03904 -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
