DISCUSSION:
The Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS) provides grant funds to local health departments
across the State to provide essential public health services. The City of Fort Worth Public Health
Department's Health Promotion and Education section will complete a service delivery plan through its
FitFuture Fort Worth initiative aimed at increasing awareness of the benefits of regular physical activity
and proper nutrition, as they apply to reducing the risk of developing or dying from some of the leading
causes of death and illness (i.e. cancer, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease); to reduce
overweight and obesity in both children and adult populations; to assist the community in identifying risk
behaviors that contribute to the development or increase the burden of chronic diseases; and to continue
fostering our Public Health community partnerships by addressing these essential health functions, as
defined by DSHS:
• Inform, educate and empower people about health status
• Mobilize community partnerships to identify and solve health problems
The funding period would begin September 1, 2007, and end August 31, 2008, for an amount not to exceed
$36, 500.
