• Pre/Post-Natal Home Visitation Program
The Department's Outreach section will develop a proposal which will provide a case management
relationship with at-risk mothers This relationship would be initiated when a parent is determined to
be at-risk for inadequate pre and post-natal care, parenting skills, access to medical services or
other issues which may effect the physical or emotional health of the child This proposal would
seek approximately $280,000 in funding
Smoke Free Restaurant Program
With children smoking at increasingly younger ages, it is important to provide consistently smoke-
free environments, especially at restaurants The Consumer Health Division proposes developing a
program which will provide the smoking status of area restaurants by creating aWeb-site and
establishing a computerized, public-access workstation at the Health Department. This will allow all
citizens and parents of Fort Worth to determine, in advance, whether the restaurant they are
choosing prohibits smoking or has a designated smoking area The proposal would seek $20,000
to fund this project.

health issues of Fort Worth students The proposed survey instrument would be designed by a
community partnership to address student health information not currently available through other

subsequent effective intervention in student health issues The proposal would seek approximately
