View Award Description

Reaching for a Healthier Marion County - Health and Hospital Corporation of Marion County (HHC), doing business as the Marion County Public Health Department (MCPHD)—through the REACH initiative, will increase capacity for low income residents to eat healthy foods, engage in more physical activity, and avail themselves of high quality chronic disease prevention programming in community sites. MCPHD works with multiple community partners in a collective impact healthy communities coalition, Top 10, which will serve as the community advisory coalition for the proposed project: Reaching for a Healthier Marion County. The MCPHD and its partners historically work not only at grass-roots levels, but more importantly, in embedding health considerations into decision-making that impacts a broad array of community sectors through environmental changes, policy development, technical assistance, and partner engagement. MCPHD collaborates with clinical partners in reaching the underserved, low income target population. The proposed project blends together the capacity of the community’s many sectors and coalitions already engaged in work toward creating healthier, more equitable environments. Specifically, enhancing expectations of pedestrian infrastructure to support walking safety in high risk Indianapolis neighborhoods will be achieved by engaging residents and neighborhood stakeholders in thorough assessment of their environment, developing action plans, and increasing advocacy skills. To increase consumption of healthy foods, the project will increase financial access and availability to fruits and vegetables for SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program) enrollees through a Produce RX and double voucher benefits program, both of which will be expanded into retail settings. The project will implement healthy food standards in a large urban hospital and through food pantries using best practices. Breastfeeding policy and practice support will be addressed in community, faith-based, and work-sites. Extensive outreach will be conducted to facilitate linkages to diabetes prevention and management programs, cooking classes, and other existing resources to assure health-supporting community programs are utilized to their full capacity by African American/Blacks. The purpose of the proposed project is to enhance pedestrian infrastructure supporting safe walking and biking in high risk Indianapolis neighborhoods; increase consumption of healthy foods by providing financial access and expanding fresh food availability; increase community and employer support for breastfeeding, and ensure the ‘health supporting’ community programs are used to their full capacity by the low income, African American population. By the end of the five-year (September 2023) grant period the following outcomes are anticipated: 1. Increase the number of food pantries offering healthier food options (indicated by nutrition guidelines). 2. Increase the number of retail food establishments within Community Health Network (CHN) offering healthier food options (as indicated by nutrition guidelines). 3. Increase the number of persons with access to and the number of locations accepting Fresh Bucks, SNAP vouchers, and Produce Prescriptions. 4. Increase the number of continuity of care/community support actions for African American breastfeeding mothers. 5. Increase the number of safe pedestrian, bicycle, or transit improvement projects and African American/Black residents with access to these improvements. 6. Increase the use of culturally appropriate community-based chronic disease prevention and management programs through utilization of community health workers for African American/Black residents.
