Open Door Forum on Health Initiatives
April 24, 2008 Open Door Forum
On April 24, 2008, please join the Indian Health Service (IHS) for our Seventh
quarterly teleconference/WebEx Open Door Forum. This Forum will focus on agency
wide efforts in obesity prevention and control. IHS Acting Director, Robert McSwain
will provide an update on the status of current national obesity prevention and
control. Five programs will share their innovative work in obesity prevention
including breastfeeding, Head Start, nutrition interventions, school based programs,
and clinic-based collaboratives. We will also hear from nationally known obesity
prevention expert, Dr. Scott Gee, Medical Director for Prevention and Control
with Kaiser Permanente North Region. Join us on this informative 2 part series
as we share resources, create learning communities, and showcase best and promising
practices for obesity prevention and control.
PowerPoint presentations will be available on the Director’s Health
Initiatives website approximately one week prior to the teleconference – please
download the presentations so you can follow along during the teleconference.
There will be time for dialogue at the end of the presentations. A survey monkey
will also be available for feedback after the Forum. Following the call, a transcript
will be available at the Directors’ Initiatives website for those who miss
this event.
After the call, the transcripts and web-ex recordings of previous Open Door
Forums will be available under “What’s New” of the Director’s
Initiatives website. CEUs are a new feature of our fifth Open Door Forum and
will be available for physicians and nurses. We will add other disciplines if
interest supports this option for future forums. CEUs can be obtained by completing
the Survey
Monkey.
