Explanation
BACKGROUND: Columbus Public Health has been awarded a grant from the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), funded through the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, to participate in the 2013 Developing Capacity to Deliver Chronic Disease Self-Management Program (CDSMP). This ordinance is needed to accept and appropriate $11,000.00 in grant money to fund this program for the period of February 1, 2013, through September 29, 2013.
The CDSMP is a 6 week educational workshop for people with chronic conditions (e.g. arthritis, diabetes, lung and heart disease). Evidenced-based, self-management education programs have been proven to significantly help people with chronic diseases. This opportunity will provide funding support to LHD's to develop their capacity to deliver CDSMP workshops within their communities.
This ordinance is submitted as an emergency so as to allow the financial transaction to be posted in the City's accounting system as soon as possible. Up to date financial posting promotes accurate accounting and financial management.
FISCAL IMPACT: The program is funded by the National Association of County and City Health Officials through a grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and does not generate revenue or require a city match.
