The Commonwealth of Pennsylvania has undertaken a project to create a
Comprehensive Tobacco Control Plan. As a part of this project, you are invited
to attend and participate in one of the Stakeholder Meetings scheduled as
follows:
Philadelphia: Wednesday, June 7, 2006
Pittsburgh: Thursday, June 15, 2006
Harrisburg: Tuesday, June 20, 2006
I hope you all will be able to attend at least one.
Please also distribute the attached announcement to individuals and
organizations working to prevent and control tobacco use in Pennsylvania.
The Temple Institute for Public
Affairs website (www.temple.edu/ipa) now includes links to a page devoted to
strategic planning process, which includes this announcement, a brief agenda for
the stakeholder meetings, directions to the meetings, and the pre-
registrationform we ask all who plan to attend a meeting to complete. Thepage
also links to tobacco control plans in other states and other Pennsylvania plans
that address tobacco control.
We ask that you let us know, via e-mail to patobaccoplan@temple.edu, about the
lists of individuals and organizations to which you relay the invitation to the
meetings, so that we can estimate the numbers of people likely to attend each
meeting and ensure that all the various stakeholder communities are represented.
We will be distributing more materials for your review prior to the meetings
just as soon as they are available.
Thank you very much for your time and energy in helping to guide the
Commonwealth’s efforts to prevent and control tobacco use.
In health,
Michael

The Center for Health and Health Care in Schools (CHHCS) News Alert -- May 17,
2006
Calories In, Calories Out: A Report on Food and Exercise in Public Elementary
Schools:
Noting that one way to address obesity among school-age children is to emphasize
an "energy balance" approach-calories in, calories out-the National Center for
Education Statistics in the U.S. Department of Education in 2005 surveyed a
statistically representative sample of public elementary schools to see what
foods are available outside of full school meals, the opportunities students
have to engage in physical activity, and whether schools measure the height,
weight, or body mass index (BMI) of students.

Dear colleagues,
=20
I need some advise for one of my faculty members. This faculty member is 64
years old and has multiple health problems including diabetes, high cholesterol
and hypertension. Most recently he can not wear shoes due to circulation issues
related to the diabetes and psoriatic
arthritis. Since he knew my background is in health education, he
asked me if I know of some medical center in the United States that has
expertise related to the diabetes and the circulation problems in his legs. I
think this faculty member is willing to travel to a center that may be able to
help him. =20
=20
Can anyone recommend medical centers in the U.S. that are on the cutting edge
that could help this person? He is willing to travel to the medical center.
Thanks.
