<br>Greetings Neighborhood Association Presidents and MNAC Reps,<br>
<br>
The county is organizing a 3-year process to develop a Comprehensive Health<br>
Plan for Whatcom. This plan will provide guidance on health issues of<br>
public importance for several years to come.<br><div class="gmail_quote"><br>
As a first step in identifying those issues, project organizers are hosting<br>
nine public forums, called "Health Counts Community Conversations." The<br>
first forum is in Bellingham on Wednesday, March 19th from 9:00 am-12 noon<br>
at St. Luke's Community Health Education Center.<br>
<br>
Information about two other Bellingham forums is included on the attached<br>
flyer entitle "ALL EVENTS." Project planners are hoping for 50-150 persons<br>
at each forum. All of the forums will be professionally facilitated using<br>
Open Space Technology.<br>
<br>
The attached flyers include information about" 1) the March 19th<br>
Bellingham forum; 2) a schedule of all county-wide forums (including two<br>
additional Bellingham forums); and 3) a project overview.<br>
Project organizers are requesting that this information be passed on to<br>
your neighborhood association members, to encourage broad-based<br>
participation in this important information-gathering process.<br>
If you have questions or need additional information about the<br>
Comprehensive Health Plan for Whatcom, please contact the project manager,<br>
Susan Sloan, MA, Health Information Specialist at the Whatcom County Health<br>
Department, 360-676-6724, ext. 50838, or <a href="mailto:ssloan@whatcomcounty.us">ssloan AT whatcomcounty DOT us</a> <br>
