Grand Forks Park District received a $40,000 grant in 2010. This powerpoint is an update on the results of the grant work to October 2013. Initiatives include working toward: tobacco-free parks, healthy food at concession stands at schools and the Park District Concessions, recognition for healthy offerings at area restaurants, providing EBT machines for the local farmer's markets, and children's gardens.

National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA).Our nation faces a crisis due to the burden of chronic disease. Today, 7 of the 10 leading causes of death in the United States are chronic diseases, and nearly 50% of Americans live with at least one chronic illness. People who suffer from chronic conditions such as heart disease, stroke, diabetes, cancer, obesity, and arthritis experience limitations to function, health, activity, and work. These limitations affect the quality of their lives, as well as the lives of their families.Treatment for people with chronic conditions accounts for more than 75% of the $2 trillion spent annually on medical care in the United States. Effectively addressing the national chronic disease crisis is central to the future of health care in our nation and a priority for policy makers and those who pay for public and private health insurance plans.Preventable health risks such as tobacco and excessive alcohol use, insufficient physical activity, and poor nutrition contribute to the development and severity of many chronic diseases. For example,Tobacco use is the single most avoidable cause of disease, disability, and death in the United States. Each year, an estimated 443,000 people die prematurely from smoking or exposure to secondhand smoke. Despite these risks, more than 43 million (about 1 of 5) U.S. adults smoke.During 2001–2005, about 79,000 deaths were caused by excessive alcohol use annually. Excessive alcohol use is the third leading lifestyle-related cause of death for Americans each year.In 2009, more than 80% of high school students and more than half (56%) of all adults did not In 2009, more than 80% of high school students and more than half (56%) of all adults did not meet recommendations for aerobic physical activity from the 2008 Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans. These guidelines call for at least 60 minutes each day of physical activity for children and adolescents and 75–150 minutes each week (depending on activity intensity) for adults.In 2009, only 34% of high school students ate at least 2 servings of fruit each day, and only 14% ate at least 3 servings of vegetables daily. Only 23% of U.S. adults ate 5 or more servings of fruits and vegetables each day.In addition, some population groups in the United States suffer disproportionately from chronic diseases and associated risk factors. For example,Death rates for heart disease are 23% higher among African Americans than among whites; death rates for stroke are 31% higher.African American, Hispanic, American Indian, and Alaska Native adults are twice as likely as white adults to have diabetes.The Burden of Chronic DiseaseHeart disease and stroke remain the first and third leading causes of death, accounting for more than 30% of all U.S. deaths. One million Americans are disabled from strokes, and many can no longer perform daily tasks such as walking or bathing without help.Nearly 26 million Americans have diabetes. An estimated 79 million U.S. adults have prediabetes, which places them at increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure, nontraumatic lower-extremity amputations, and blindness among adults aged 20–74 years.Cancer claims more than half a million lives each year and remains the nation's second leading cause of death. The total number of Americans living with a previous diagnosis of cancer is currently estimated at 11 million.One of every 3 U.S. adults and nearly 1 of 5 children aged 6–19 years are obese. Obesity has been linked to increased risk for heart disease, high blood pressure, type 2 diabetes, arthritis-related disability, and some cancers.An estimated 50 million U.S. adults reported being told by a doctor that they have some form of arthritis, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, gout, lupus, or fibromyalgia. Arthritis results in activity limitations for nearly 21 million Americans.Producing ResultsStrong action at the community level is critical to addressing chronic disease trends. CDC's Healthy Communities Program provides funding and technical assistance to select communities, states, and national groups to help them prevent chronic diseases at the local level. The program adheres to the following key principles and strategies to create and sustain health improvements in funded communities:Respond to community needs through partnerships.Implement large-scale interventions in multiple settings.Reach diverse population groups to promote health equity.Make interventions sustainable.All about Policy and Environmental change
