Body
NOTE: A Health in All Policies (HiAP) framework recognizes that social determinants - conditions where we are born, live, work, play, worship, and age - have a strong effect on health. HiAP frameworks encourage local governments to acknowledge and act upon the fact that resources and policies related to food access, housing, transportation, safety education, land use, air and water quality, criminal justice, and economic development have a direct impact on health are sometimes unequally distributed among populations. Department of Health-Pinellas (DOH-Pinellas) proposes with the assistance of its community partners to transform local policymaking by bringing a "Health in All Policies approach" across government and community sectors.
Pinellas Park's Community Development Department hired a Health Planner to work exclusively on HiAP framework implementation. The Health Planner is responsible for assessing and tracking city and state regulations and policies pertinent to the elimination of health disparities especially within high risk areas, to create a healthier community.
This is a reimbursable local agreement and revenues will be received from DOH-Pinellas.
