PURPOSE/ACTION REQUESTED
Receive progress update on Statewide Health Improvement Partnership (SHIP) 2022.
SUMMARY
The goal of SHIP is to reduce chronic disease and related health care costs through increasing healthy eating, physical activity, reducing tobacco use and exposure to second-hand smoke and promoting mental health wellbeing. Staff continues to monitor progress, collect and analyze data, and report on outcomes, leveraged funds, and sustainability work. The following attachments highlight the SHIP work and outcomes: SHIP Progress Report February 2022, School Wellness Report and SHIP Cumulative Progress Report 2015-2021.
The SHIP grant is awarded through the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH) through 2025 and funding is determined on an annual basis. By Resolution No. 20-382, the Dakota County Board of Commissioners authorized the Community Services Director to execute a five-year grant agreement and accept future funding for the period of November 1, 2020 through October 31, 2025, and to accept the award of $782,859 for the period of November 1, 2021 through October 31, 2022. MDH has informed public health that the official award for 2023 will be communicated in September.
