CPMC progress

Kaiser Permanente grant for community benefits up to $25K

Budget cut to DPH/ATF- all add-backs cut from budget

Strategy to align add-back budget request with sustainability process

Add-back allocation cut from Mayor’s June budget

We want to ensure that projects are sustained- that is our priority- we want to continue with our work, not start new projects

Advocacy strategy:  DPH is facing cuts to essential services- We need to be aware of the bigger context

We MUST be at the meeting on June 21^st- as well as lobbying with Supervisor’s –We need to make appointments with Budget Committee, as well as Maxwell and bring our DVD

Anjali is interested in potentially talking with Mitch Katz-  we will wait to talk to Karen

Stephanie will set up appts. Tomorrow with Maxwell and budget committee

We will ask for the continuation of the $102K

Stephanie  and Anjali will draft talking points and call out from support from task force and community partners

Kate will get letter of support from RAMP

CPMC- we asked for a no cost extension of grant due to IRB delays

Kaiser grant submitted- we will not hear until August

Set up meetings with budget committee and Sup. Maxwell- Stephanie

Draft talking points/strategy- Stephanie/Anjali

Alert ATF of process- ask for support- Stephanie/Anjali

3. Sustainability

Discuss strategy for larger process, discussion and decision-making

In progress

Discussion: Budget cuts reflect on current sustainability conversation- how will we sustain our programs w/o being a formed body?

Should DPH have a permanent asthma program? Will they provide funding? Can we find homes for our current projects?

Clinical work should belong to the 2 Health Plans and Hospital Systems (CPMC, KP)

Breathe California could take ownership of school/child care programs

Will/Can DPH support environmental committee work?

What should be the framework for having the sustainability conversation? Neil is very concerned about funding

Meeting will take place on Tuesday with key parties to discuss sustainability and funding/homes for projects (Karen, Gloria, Stephanie, Anjali, Karen L (Breathe Cal), Kate)

Kate pointed out that the conversation on Tuesday should address who is willing to support/what they are willing to support in terms of our projects, etc. and what commitments agencies/persons are willing to make

Anjali said that she felt a coalition of some sort needs to exist to keep programs running (i.e. SFUSD programs would not run without ATF support)- Groups and community partners need to be attached to City Departments, non profit agencies, etc.

Gloria said that she felt a coalition needs to exist for advocacy but cannot sustain individual programmatic work.We need to have each of the bigger portions of our programs owned by community agencies.  Gloria is suggesting that BC can support the schools/child care work, Health plans can own the clinical network, environmental work in Karen’s department

Kate- one potential activity for Tuesday’s meeting- “what is your best scenario”- what is the capacity and interest of all of the involved people at the table- what are the realistic situations that can exist

Marie thinks that ARC, INC. is the most realistic place for everything/everyone to reside- SFUSD is not committed to asthma programs, ATF have kept programs running but they will disappear once the task force sunsets- SFUSD has not committed to implementing policies/resolutions passed by the Board.  We need to make an appt. with the new Superintendent to introduce ourselves.  We need to create an asthma resource center in SF- if we have the support.  This could create a home for the program.  Does BC want to support the asthma issue?

Anjali and Kate will speak before Tuesday’s meeting-

Sustainability will be given 1 hour at next ATF meeting- updates to timeline to follow

4. Turn Here Video Vignette Project

a. All video shoots are complete and finalizing vignettes pending review and approval

Vignettes are finished (video shoots)- 3 are completely finalized- Anjali has asked for copies of the DVD’s for our budget advocacy work- highlight systems changes that are in place at SFHA, SFGH, Tom Waddell, and SFUSD

We would like to partner with PMC to advertise the vignettes- and will run on SFGOV TV- also look at packaging

Anjali will follow up with Turn Here to get DVD to bring to meetings with the Board.

Vignettes to be shown at next Full TF meeting on June 25th

5. Committee Issues/Projects (as needed)

1. Clinical committee- Dr. David Nunez is coming in August to meeting- Meredith from California Breathing will be there in July
2. Schools committee-  sustainability interviews- Stephanie will send questions to Marie- via email Neil doesn’t have any input

Stephanie will mail Marie information regarding interviews on Thursday

6. Updates/Announcements

a.       APHA 2007 abstracts – response received

b.       EPA Community Forum, Washington DC, May 31-June 1 – report back

Other Announcements

APHA accepted three abstracts for presentation in DC- November

Gloria and Anjali- feedback from EPA conference- wasn’t enough emphasis on nuts and bolts of programs, more self congratulatory.  Too much talk about programs, not enough chance to have conversations with folks.  Learned that Boston Public Health Commission has taken ownership of asthma issue for the city of Boston, as has NYC.
