Healthy Neighborhoods New Orleans Partnership Opportunity Available

Want a chance to improve the health of your neighborhood? Is your neighborhood interested in helping residents understand nutrition, safe exercise and the consequences of being overweight? LPHI's Healthy Neighborhoods-New Orleans (HNNO) program is pleased to announce the availability of two partnership opportunities for qualifying neighborhood associations or organizations. Participants will engage in a program focusing on the improvement of neighborhood health and specifically factors involved in Type 2 diabetes. Chosen neighborhoods will be supplied with technical assistance and financial support to create community action plans that address being overweight, poor nutrition and lack of physical activity - the risk factors of Type 2 diabetes. Apply here.
Deadline for hard copy or email submissions of the Request for Information (RFI) and application materials is January 24, 2011, 4:00 p.m. CST.
