Population Health Mobilization: A Regional Strategy - June 1999

Appendix C: Mobilization Grid

This form is designed to assist staff in regional HPPB offices to develop and describe their planned initiatives for population health mobilization. During the initial implementation period for mobilization, a portion of regional resources will be set aside for specific mobilization activities to protect them from the pressures that other funding programs and issues can put upon Branch resources. At the same time, work will continue to shift the delivery of all programs and resources so they increasingly reflect the population health approach.

In fiscal year 1999/00, it is anticipated each region will implement 2-3 initiatives that address the mobilization approaches and regional priorities described in the document "Population Health Mobilization: A Regional Strategy".

Please use this document to describe each of your planned initiatives. The completed forms will be used to develop a national synthesis of regional mobilization plans. This synthesis will help identify further opportunities for regional collaboration and analysis. In addition, it could stimulate the development and implementation of interregional projects and initiatives.
