Health Promotion
and Chronic Disease Prevention Program - Oregon
The purpose of the Health Promotion and Chronic
Disease Prevention Program (HPCDP) is to promote the health of Oregonians by
advancing policy and developing public health programs that prevent chronic
diseases from occurring, detect chronic diseases at the earliest stages when
they are most treatable, and prevent further complications.
The Oregon Department of Human Services (DHS) Health Promotion and Chronic
Disease Prevention Program (HPCDP) includes nine program areas: arthritis;
asthma; breast and cervical cancer screening; statewide cancer registry;
comprehensive cancer control; diabetes; heart disease and stroke; physical
activity, nutrition and obesity; and tobacco control. All nine program areas are
supported by funds from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
The tobacco control program is also funded with tobacco tax revenues designated
by Ballot Measure 44 passed by Oregon voters in 1996. At the current time, no
state general fund revenues support these programs.

Community Partnerships for
Older Americans
Community Partnerships for Older Adults is a national program of The Robert Wood
Johnson Foundation that fosters community partnerships to improve long term care
and supportive services systems to meet the current and future needs of older
adults.
Future of
Long-Term Care for Seniors and People with Disabilities
As the aging demographics unfold, the financing of Oregon's nationally
recognized long-term care system will become a major challenge. Even with a
reasonable rate of growth in future Oregon revenues, the burgeoning number of
seniors and people with disabilities needing long-term care support could
overwhelm and outstrip Oregon's capacity to pay for needed services. It is
imperative that Oregon plan now for the future of its long-term care system.

National Chronic Care Consortium
This Web site includes archived materials developed by the National Chronic Care
Consortium. It offers tools and methods for addressing numerous aspects of
integration of care for people with serious chronic conditions—clinical,
administrative, financial, and cultural. It provides a framework, strategies,
and sample policy specifications for reforming barriers that impede the ability
of plans and providers to provide quality, cost-effective care.
Stanford Patient Education
Research Center
The Stanford Patient Education Research Center is part of the Department of
Medicine at the Stanford University School of Medicine, located in Palo Alto,
California, U.S.A. Over the past 24 years, we have developed, tested, and
evaluated self-management programs for English and Spanish speakers with chronic
health problems. All of our programs are designed to help people gain
self-confidence in their ability to control their symptoms and how their health
problems affect their lives. Our small-group workshops are given in community
settings and on the Internet. They are facilitated by two leaders/moderators
with health problems of their own. The workshops are highly interactive,
focusing on building skills, sharing experiences, and support. Our main mission,
however, is research. We only develop and offer programs that we test for
effectiveness with randomized, controlled trials that are funded by research
grants and span two to five years. The aim of all of our programs is to improve
the physical and emotional health of participants while reducing health care
costs.
