Health Choice Network is requesting support from the State of Florida for the continued operation and expansion of the Jessie Trice Cancer Prevention Project/Healthy Body, Healthy Soul Program to other counties and types of cancer. The Jessie Trice Cancer Prevention Project/Healthy Body, Healthy Soul program represents a sound approach to addressing health disparities affecting low-income communities. Jessie Trice Cancer Prevention /Healthy Body, Healthy Soul uses collaboration among community health centers across the state, faith-based and other partners to extend outreach efforts to populations that are traditionally hardest to reach to provide education and change health behaviors effectively, and to provide a higher level of coordination of care that previously existed. Churches and other community partners enjoying proven credibility with families are engaged in efforts to educate their communities and change health behavior in a private way. Jessie Trice Cancer Prevention Project/Healthy Body, Healthy Soul is a locally-driven and locally controlled effort, based on solid partnerships among private, not-for-profit organizations with track records of serving predominantly low-income communities that span several decades. Infrastructures are in place at the Network level and in communities targeted to plan, operate and evaluate Jessie Trice Cancer Prevention Project/Healthy Body, Healthy Soul initiatives. Sufficient ground work has been completed and relationships among partners solidified to enable sustenance, strengthening and efficient replication of Jessie Trice Cancer Prevention Project/Healthy Body, Healthy Soul projects to maximize the Program?s impact in Florida?s low-income communities. |
