The Center for Disease Control recently announced funding for several cardiovascular disease programs. Several health departments in our area were positively impacted. Here are details from the CDC:
The CDC Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention (DHDSP) has completed its continuation funding process. Funding through the National Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Program continues in 41 States and the District of Columbia. Funding for the Well-Integrated Screening and Evaluation for Women Across the Nation (WISEWOMAN) Program continues in 19 States and two Tribal Organizations. Continuation funding is also provided for four Stroke Networks, seven Optional projects, and six Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Registries. With a modest increase in resources, DHDSP is able to fund seven new Optional projects in Arizona, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Minnesota, and Oregon. Additionally, Arkansas, California, Iowa, and Wisconsin are receiving one-time funding to support stroke quality improvement.
Beginning June 30, 2009 the Division for Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention funded the following:
As part of the National Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Program, Kentucky and Ohio were funded for capacity building. Capacity Building Programs enhance partnerships, define the burden of heart disease and stroke, develop a comprehensive State plan, and pilot interventions. Kentucky received additional, optional Capacity Building funding to support demonstration intervention activities that address the CDC program priority areas 1-6.
In addition, West Virginia received Basic Implementation (BI) Program funding. With BI funding, they will be able to implement, disseminate, and evaluate intervention activities that address the State plan objectives and the CDC program priority areas 1-6. The state is also receiving WiseWoman funding. West Virginia will have programming to provide low-income, under insured or uninsured women aged 40-64 years with chronic disease risk factor screening, lifestyle intervention, and referral services in an effort to prevent cardiovascular disease.
Fortunately, the good news doesn't stop with just cardiovascular funding! Four regional stroke networks were funded. Ohio is part of the Great Lakes Stroke Network, which is based out of Illinois. According to the CDC, "The Networks increase the ability of State health departments and other members to work across State boundaries and leverage efforts within the region to encourage stroke-related activities. Activities focus on enhancing partnerships, education, collaboration, and policy and systems change strategies."
Lastly, Ohio received two funding streams related to the Paul Coverdell National Acute Stroke Registry. The state was allocated dollars for a registry project to measure quality of care for acute stroke patients and implement quality improvement strategies that focus on policy, systems change, and professional education to improve stroke treatment. Additionally, Ohio received supplemental funding for Stroke Outcomes Evaluation.
Congratulations to all funded states!
Watch and respond to future alerts on CDC funding to help move all states into the funded category!
