Be Smoke-Free-You Matter to Me! Facebook App
CDC's new Be Smoke-Free-You Matter to Me!<https://apps.facebook.com/BeSmokeFree/> Facebook app can be used by friends and loved ones of smokers to remind them of all the activities and major life events they might miss out on if they continue to smoke-and more importantly, all the things they can look forward to if they quit. Friends and loved ones can send heartfelt messages to show smokers how much they care and to encourage and motivate them to try to quit.

CCPHSD Community Health Assessment and Health Data

 Many of you are aware that the Health District recently conducted a Community Health Assessment.  As part of the assessment, the Health District completed a survey designed to allow community members to voice their opinions regarding local health issues, conducted community focus groups and presented a collection of quantitative data to help identify areas for health improvement in our communities.  The Assessment was recently updated and provides a wealth of information that may be useful to your Program.

The Assessment is accompanied by Community Health Data and Resources including a Community Dashboard which explores a variety of health and quality of life indicators.
The Community Health Assessment (CHA) and Health Data are available at: http://www.coconino.az.gov/index.aspx?nid=222.  (After you look at the Community Dashboard, you have to make one more click on the CHA link on this page.)

The CHA will be followed by the Community Health Improvement Plan (CHIP), which will be available at the same link for your review later this month. The CHIP and the CHA will be used to develop a Strategic Plan that promotes the health and wellbeing of residents by intervening in the key processes that cause unintentional injury, preventing illness associated with poor lifestyle choices and pursuing affordable and accessible health care for all residents. More information regarding the Strategic Plan will be available soon.

Further Shore Eevent

Flagstaff's 1st Death Café is part of a global phenomenon. You can learn more at www.deathcafe.com. The meeting will be offered on June 29th from 10 a.m. to noon at the Federated Church at 400 W. Aspen Avenue. The purpose of this meeting is "To increase awareness of death with a view to helping people make the most of their (finite) lives". At Death Cafés people come together in a relaxed and safe setting to discuss death, drink tea and eat delicious cake. They are offered by nonprofit organizations with no intention of leading participants toward any particular conclusion, product, or course of action. They do not replace grief or bereavement support groups, but do allow for conversations about these and other aspects of death in a respectful, confidential space. Our Death Café is open to those with secular and/or spiritual viewpoints. Your Further Shore facilitators are experienced prehospice educators and end of life counselors. Offered freely, donations welcome. Reservations are required by calling us at 928-525-2910 or visit us at https://www.facebook.com/FurtherShore
