Introduction
Every four years the Orange County Board of Health commissions a Community Health
Assessment to identify pressing and emerging community health issues. The latest
Community Health Assessment was completed in December of 2011, and in February 2012
the Board undertook a participatory group process to identify their top three health
priorities for the next four years (2012- 2016).
The three priorities: 1) Access to Care; 2) Child and Family Obesity and 3) Substance
Abuse /Mental Health drove the work of the Board of Health, which was detailed in their
2012 -2014 Strategic Plan. In 2014, the Board developed their second Strategic Plan for the
next two years (2014 -2016) building on the results of their work to date, while maintaining
these three priorities.
To oversee the work of this extremely ambitious Strategic Plan, the Board of Health has
formed three oversight committees —one for each priority —that will meet regularly to
ensure action steps and deliverables meet the deadlines established in the plan.

Strategic P&nr� i g in Context
The Board of Health Strategic plan is situated in a broader context of purposeful planning
and actions that provide the Board, Health Department staff, and the Orange County
community with a clear picture of local health goals, plans and strategies to achieve these
goals, and the measures used to monitor progress. These plans not only communicate how
we will address the community's health priorities, but also how our values as an
organization drive our work.
Current strategic plans focus on three different levels of impact: population, service, and
workplace priorities. Population priorities focus on policies and programs that improve the
health of the Orange County population. The Board of Health Strategic Plan focuses on
population level impact through policy. Service priorities focus on improving the services
provided by the OCHD. Workplace priorities focus on improving the OCHD workforce and
the working environment.

these issues through four focus areas:
1) Serve as a catalyst and advocate for health outcomes in the Orange County Child
Poverty Project
2) Advocate for and pursue policies/ legislation to improve access to care
3) Foster a culture of innovation at the Health Department
4) Actively communicate about effective interventions and advocate for their funding

AN INTRODUCTION TO
HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES
A Guide for State and Local Governments
Health in All Policies: A Guide for State and Local Governments was created by the Public Health Institute, the
California Department of Public Health, and the American Public Health Association in response to growing
interest in using collaborative approaches to improve population health by embedding health considerations into
decision - making processes across a broad array of sectors. The Guide draws heavily on the experiences of the
California Health in All Policies Task Force and incorporates information from the published and gray literature
and interviews with people across the country.
WHY DO WE NEED HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES?
Health in All Policies is based on the recognition that our greatest health challenges —for example, chronic
illness, health inequities, climate change, and spiraling health care costs —are highly complex and often linked.
Promoting healthy communities requires that we address the social determinants of health, such as transportation,
education, access to healthy food, economic opportunities, and more. This requires innovative solutions, a new
policy paradigm, and structures that break down the siloed nature of government to advance collaboration.
A MESSAGE FROM THE AMERICAN PUBLIC HEALTH ASSOCIATION
The environments in which people live, work, learn, and play have a tremendous impact
on their health. Responsibility for the social determinants of health falls to many non-
traditional health partners, such as housing, transportation, education, air quality,
parks, criminal justice, energy, and employment agencies. Public health agencies and
organizations will need to work with those who are best positioned to create policies
and practices that promote healthy communities and environments and secure the
many co- benefits that can be attained through healthy public policy.
This guide follows in that tradition: We believe it will be of great value as the
implementation of Health in All Policies expands and evolves to transform the practice
of public health for the benefit of all.

President Executive Director

WHAT IS HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES?
Health in All Policies is a collaborative approach to improving the health of all people by
incorporating health considerations into decision - making across sectors and policy areas.
The goal of Health in All Policies is to ensure that decision - makers are informed about the health, equity, and
sustainability consequences of various policy options during the policy development process. A Health in All
Policies approach identifies the ways in which decisions in multiple sectors affect health, and how better health
can support the goals of these multiple sectors. It engages diverse governmental partners and stakeholders to
work together to promote health, equity, and sustainability, and simultaneously advance other goals such as
promoting job creation and economic stability, transportation access and mobility, a strong agricultural system,
and educational attainment. There is no one "right" way to implement a Health in All Policies approach, and
there is substantial flexibility in process, structure, scope, and membership.
FIVE KEY ELEMENTS OF HEALTH IN ALL POLICIES
Promote health, equity, and sustainability. Health in All Policies promotes health, equity, and
sustainability through two avenues: (1) incorporating health, equity, and sustainability into specific policies,
programs, and processes, and (2) embedding health, equity, and sustainability considerations into government
decision - making processes so that healthy public policy becomes the normal way of doing business.
Support intersectoral collaboration. Health in All Policies brings together partners from the many
sectors that play a major role in shaping the economic, physical, and social environments in which people live,
and therefore have an important role to play in promoting health, equity, and sustainability. A Health in All
Policies approach focuses on deep and ongoing collaboration.
Benefit multiple partners. Health in All Policies values co- benefits and win -wins. Health in All Polices
initiatives endeavor to simultaneously address the policy and programmatic goals of both public health and other
agencies by finding and implementing strategies that benefit multiple partners.
Engage stakeholders. Health in All Policies engages many stakeholders, including community members,
policy experts, advocates, the private sector, and funders, to ensure that work is responsive to community needs
and to identify policy and systems changes necessary to create meaningful and impactful health improvements.
Create structural or process change. Over time, Health in All Policies work leads to institutionalizing a
Health in All Policies approach throughout the whole of government. This involves permanent changes in how
agencies relate to each other and how government decisions are made, structures for intersectoral collaboration,
and mechanisms to ensure a health lens in decision - making processes.

What's this all about?
We all want a decent life - to be able to pay the bills, put healthy food on the table and see
our children succeed in school and in life. Yet in Orange County, we're seeing discouraging
trends in our families and our communities doing these basic things. And when families struggle
to make ends meet, it impacts their children now and for years in the future. The effects of
income on children start early with the way children's brains are built, and continue through
school, careers and health.
No one organization or individual has the "silver bullet" to change the way poverty decreases
the chances our children and our community have to succeed. That's why a diverse group of
elected officials, community organizations, and government partners are coming together to
adapt lessons from successful models, like the Harlem Children's Zone, to Orange County.
These models improve children's chances for educational and economic opportunities by serving
a defined geographic area (a zone) and its children with a seamless "pipeline" of evidence -
based programs, services, and supports from cradle to career.

Zone Priority Setting Meetings
Come learn about the results of our door -to -door and online needs assessment surveys. We will
use the information gathered to talk about the strengths and needs of our community. We will
work together to set a series of project priorities that will be shared with the Family Success
Alliance Advisory Council at their next meeting.
Zone 4: Wednesday, April 8th from 5:00 - 7:00 PM at Stanback Middle School
Zone 6: Thursday, April 9th from 5:00 - 7:00 PM at Carrboro Elementary School
A light meal, childcare, and interpreters will be provided.
Zones
Adapting other successful models to our communities will be a learning process. To help this
learning process, two zones were selected from an initially identified six in December 2014
through a process that combined community listening sessions, a written application by
stakeholders in each zone, and an in- person conversation with the advisory council.
The two pilot zones are Zone 4 and Zone 6.

Zone 4
Located between I -40 and I-
85 in central Orange County,
Includes A.L. Stanback Middle
and New Hope Elementary
Zone 4 data shows
Approximately 1 in 4 kids
under 18 are living in poverty
55% of kids at Zone 4 schools
receive free or reduced lunch
Test scores for Zone 4 schools
show that 53% of 3rd graders
are not proficient in reading
and 63% of 8th graders are
not proficient in math.
In their application, Zone
partners described hearing
Birckwnal � as 5
concerns from parents about
• their children's emotional,
physical and social well- being, their safety, and their academic achievement. Parents, both
Spanish- speaking and English- speaking, identified the schools as safe, nurturing and positive
places for their children and a source of support and connection for the entire family. Zone 4 is
fortunate to have many community partners as well as school staff and parents who are
working to build and strengthen the five parts of the pipeline. Families and local organizations,
many of whom have felt unheard and unimportant in the past, have expressed excitement and
anticipation in the work that has already begun and in future possibilities as part of the Family
Success Alliance.
Zone 6 is a
• Densely populated zone
that encompasses from
downtown Chapel Hill
southwest to Highway 54
• Strong history of the
neighborhoods in this area
gives the community a
sense of identity
• Highest estimate of kids
under 18 living in poverty
— an estimated 878 kids
• Further, local data shows
that approximately 30% of

The Zone 6 application highlighted
early childhood development as cn °�4 i•
the weakest part of their pipeline
from cradle to career /college, as
they feel the Zone has lost early education resources due to funding changes. Zone partners
look forward to promoting the rich cultural history and diversity of their community to create a
sense of unity to collaborate on projects that better the community.
What's Next?
Before moving to action, it is important that we understand the unique challenges and
resources of Zones 4 and 6. To do this, Zone partners and FSA staff will work together from
January - April 2015 to paint a picture of the "pipeline" from cradle to college or career in each
zone and where the gaps in the pipeline exist. This picture will combine the voices of youth,
families, service providers, and leaders in the zone with learned from decades of research on
improving the odds for children and families.
Following this process, the Zones will present their priority actions to fill the gaps in the
pipeline to the Advisory Council in April 2015.

Orange County
State of the County Health Report
2014
Purpose
This 2014 State of the County Health Report
(SOTCH) provides an update on health concerns and
actions being taken to address them. It uses the most
recent data to highlight the leading Orange County
(OC) causes of death and disease, and progress
towards addressing the leading health concerns
identified in the 2011 Community Health Assessment
(CHA).
20
The prioritized health issues are: 1) Access to Health
Care, Insurance, and Information; 2) Chronic Disease
Prevention and Health Promotion related to physical
activity and healthy eating; and 3) Mental Health and
Substance Abuse. Community coalitions and
partners, such as Healthy Carolinians of Orange
County (HCOC) and the Orange County Board of
Health (BOH) are addressing these issues at both the
community and policy level.
The complete 2011 Community Health Assessment can be viewed at

Emerging Topics & New Initiatives
Ebola
In the presence of Ebola, or other communicable
diseases, the role of the Orange County Health
Department (OCHD) is to screen suspect cases
and perform contact tracing, issue isolation and
quarantine orders, keep providers informed, and
serve as a liaison to the state's Communicable
Disease Branch and the local school systems.
OCHD's Communicable Disease nurses have
monitored over a dozen individuals to date. In
monitoring these individuals, the Health Dept.
performed daily home and /or phone contact to
check for symptoms.
Our staff participates in regular calls with the state
to help ensure that we, as a County, tackle Ebola
from all angles to ensure proper procedures are in
place and all lines of communication are open to
make sure residents are taken care of and risk
minimized. Visit
htto: / /www.oranaecountvnc.aov /health /ebola.asoto
stay informed on Ebola information
Breast & Cervical Cancer Control Program
Originally, OCHD was awarded 25
slots for women to receive breast
exams, cervical screenings, and /or
mammograms for the 2014 -2015
fiscal year. Due to the high demand,
all of those spots have been filled resulting in the
approval of an additional 65 slots (approximately
$23,000) for a total of 90 women this fiscal year.
Women 40 -64 years, or any age if symptomatic, are
eligible to participate in this FREE program.
Family Success Alliance
Family Success Alliance (FSA) is a collective
impact approach addressing the effects of poverty
on children in Orange County. We all want a decent
life - to be able to pay the bills, put healthy food on
the table and see our children succeed in school
and in life. Yet in OC, we're seeing discouraging
trends in our families and communities to be able to
do these basic things.
No one organization or individual has the "silver
bullet" to change the way poverty decreases the
chances our children and our community have to
succeed. That's why the Health Dept. pulled
together a diverse group of elected officials,
community organizations, and government partners
to adapt lessons from successful models, like the
Harlem Children's Zone (HCZ), to Orange County.
These models improve children's chances for
educational and economic opportunities by serving
a defined geographic area (a zone) and its children
with a seamless "pipeline" of evidence -based
programs, services, and supports from cradle to
career.
FSA has implemented 33 meetings with schools,
faith communities, community organizers, service
providers, and the media; had 5 Advisory Council
meetings; and selected 2 pilot zones. To learn more
about FSA, see the chosen zones, or follow the
process, visit them on the web at

Orange County Board of Health
The OCHD and BICH recognize transportation as a
key component to access to health services. In
2014, the BOH set out to increase their role in local
transportation planning by including a BOH appointee
on the Orange Unified Transportation Board
(OUTBoard). The BOH voted during the October
2014 meeting to officially request a seat on the
OUTBoard, and staff are making necessary policy
and rule changes to make this change, and
strengthen the presence of health in roadway and
transportation planning and decisions.
In addition to a new seat on the OUTBoard, the BOH
has plans to serve as a catalyst and advocate for
health outcomes with Family Success Alliance,
expand health literacy efforts outside of OCHD, and
continue to foster a culture of innovation at the Health
Department. Follow the work of the BOH specific to
these priorities at

Hillsborough: African - American, Carrboro: Hispanic) .
With bilingual staff and interpreters, OCHD served
clients in almost 20 different languages in 2014, and
purchased translation memory software to improve
efficiency and consistency of translated terms. The
Orange County Latino Health and Refugee Health
Coalitions continue to focus on access to care and
gaps in services, sharing information and
collaborating around issues such as ACA enrollment,
mental health, and emergency preparedness. Local
agencies like Piedmont Health Services (PHS), El
Futuro, Refugee Support Center, OC Department on
Aging's Chinese Program, UNC's Center for Latino
Health, and the School of Social Work's Refugee
Wellness Initiative continue to provide essential
services to the local immigrant population.
Healthy Carolinians of Orange County
In August, Healthy Carolinians of Orange County's
(HCOC) Access to Care subcommittee hosted Health
Literacy training. The committee invited and
educated providers on the importance of being health
literate when it comes to serving patients. Two UNC
Healthcare employees' trained forty -six participants in
the areas of plain language, readability level when it
comes to creating and using educational materials,
and the Teach Back Method.

Lincoln Community Health Center continue to partner
to assist OC residents with enrollment into the ACA
Marketplace. 2012 data suggests that OC has a
lower percent of uninsured by total population (16 %),
but has the same or more low income uninsured

Education (DSME) continue to expand to help
residents prevent and manage chronic conditions.
The Nutrition Services section provided 440 MNT
appointments this year and served 239 residents in
the DSME program. Health department staff also
conducted 146 medical provider presentations and
outreach events to increase awareness of Nutrition
Services programs and to promote healthy eating
and physical activity behaviors. For more

Stendi,g at Desk% The BOH passed an
Innovation Resolution
in August 2012, which
established a $20,000
Innovation Grant Fund
at OCHD. In 2014,
the second year of projects included the purchase
of 25 sit -stand desks for OCHD employees to pilot.
A CDC - published study shows that when workers
are equipped with sit -stand workstations, prolonged
sitting is reduced, upper back and neck pain is
reduced, and mood improves . A pilot staff group
tested the desks and provided feedback on their
sit /stand patterns, ergonomics, and satisfaction.
Data (shown above) showed that staff stood 50% of
the day using the sit /stand desks. We estimate that
the 25 sit -stand desks at OCHD are preventing
approximately 17,000 hours of employee sitting a
year, creating micro - movements of around 3 -5
up /down periods a day, and promoting movement,
ergonomics, and a health conscious work culture.
Family and Childhood Obesity
An OC child care center made positive changes
after participating in the Nutrition and Physical
Activity Self- Assessment for Child Care (NAP
SACC) Program. Staff members dedicated
themselves to healthier eating and drinking while at
work. Before NAP SACC staff members drank
various beverages throughout the day, and now
only drink water in clear cups or bottles so the
students can see what their teachers are drinking.
For students, almonds, baby carrots, and dried and
fresh fruits replaced pastries and chips as snack
foods; cold and refreshing water is now offered as
an alternative to lemonade; and as of April 2014,
whole wheat bread replaced previous menu items
made with white bread. Families have been
assisting the center replace portable play
equipment for outside activities, as well as providing
"wish list" items (i.e. hula hoops, jump ropes, balls,
etc.) to help assist in increased physical activity.
This center will continue to explore ways to improve
levels of nutrition and physical activity options for
healthier living.

Healthy Classroom Challenge /Healthy Kids
Day
The collaboration between the Orange County
Partnership for Young
Children and the OCHD
resulted in implementation of
the Healthy Classroom
Challenge, which took place
March 2014. The challenge
is intended to help young children and their families
learn about healthy living. Classroom presentations
were provided, by OCHD's Child Care Health
Consultant, to the Pre -K Head Start classrooms and
child care facilities that signed up to participate in
the challenge. Presentations were given to 211
children, ages 2 -5 years of age, of 10 classrooms at
8 different child care facilities and schools with Pre -
K Head Starts.
Healthy Kids Day, which occurred April 2014, was
attended by many of the Healthy Classroom
Challenge children and their families and was held
at the Chapel Hill — Carrboro YMCA on the last
Saturday in April. Most of the preschool children
performed songs and dances in front of hundreds of
attendees illustrating the health lesson learned.

As a promotional effort for prescription drug

utilized the Chapel Hill Transit System. 200 (11 x

purchased and displayed inside all 98 of the transit
buses and ran for 6 months, and four King sized
(144 x 20) posters were wrapped on the outside of
four transit buses and ran for three months. In
addition, the same tagline was used to print 500
window clings /stickers, and a half -page ad in
Everything Orange.
Drug Drop Boxes
2014 marked one year since three drug drop boxes
were installed within the lobbies of our police
stations. Over the past year, the drop boxes have
collected close to 1,500 pounds (combined). The
Chapel Hill Police Department drop box, which is
the most frequently used, reports emptying the box
every other week. HCOC and other community
coalitions continue to educate that the drug drop
boxes DO NOT accept:
needles /syringes, thermometers, LsN`Sl° o
IV bags, bloody or infectious
waste, hydrogen peroxide, empty
containers, or personal care
products. They DO accept:
expired and unused medications,
over - the - counter meds,
medication samples, pet meds, medicated
ointments and lotions, and liquid meds. To obtain
drug drop box informational cards, contact the
HCOC Coordinator at hcoc(a)orangecountync.gov.
Naloxone /Narcan
Like counties across the state, OC has community
concern with opioid use, misuse, abuse and
overdose. Between 2009 -2013, OC recorded 46
opioid overdose deaths for a rate of 7.1 % per
100,000 population compared to 11.1% statewide .
In partnership with HCOC, OCHD has taken a
community approach to overdose prevention by
increasing community access to Naloxone, a
medication that can reverse an overdose caused by
opioid medications and heroin if given in time.
Following a change in state law in 2013, Orange
County implemented the first health department
naloxone distribution program in the state to get
naloxone to people at risk of opioid overdose, as
well as the friends and family members of those at
risk. In addition, OCHD worked with Orange
County Emergency Services to train and equip law
enforcement officers with naloxone. This allows law
enforcement, who are often first on the scene, to
administer naloxone during a suspected overdose
before emergency services arrives. In January
2015, the Carrboro Police Department became the
first law enforcement agency in NC to use naloxone
to successfully reverse an overdose, with the
second reversal occurring in February.
Tobacco Prevention & Control
In response to hard work,
dedication, partnerships and
efforts around the Smoke Free
k i Public Places (SFPP) Rule, OC
received the National
Association of Counties' 2014
Achievement Award. OCHD's
Tobacco Prevention & Control
program continues to make significant strides in
increasing signage, raising awareness through
regular Smoking Response Teams (SRT) and other
25
communications, providing expanding cessation
services, and encouraging community enforcement
around the rule.
As of November 2014, 74 smoking complaints were
received, 55 of which were valid. 80% of
complaints were for Chapel Hill and around half of
all complaints pertained to bus stops along Franklin
St. OCHD partnered regularly with Chapel Hill
Police Department to help address the submitted
violations which resulted in 20 SRT deployments
surveying over 2,000 people. The below chart
shows the percent of residents now aware of the
rule compared to awareness in 2013.

Other achievements included contracting with UNC
student -run business, Buzz Rides, an electric
vehicle used to transport student's home from the
downtown area in the late evenings. Not to mention
the production of Employee and Resident
compliance videos. These videos were produced to
educate and empower residents and town /county
employees to approach others about smoking in
areas where smoking is prohibited.
As a way to provide cessation and support to
disparately affected populations through
partnerships with local service providers, the OCHD
piloted OC Partners for Tobacco Cessation.
Cessation and trainings were offered to Freedom
House Recovery Center, Inter -Faith Council Men's
and Women's Shelter, Department of Social
Services' Workfirst, El Futuro, and OCHD. To
assist with cessation efforts approximately $50,000
has been spent on 2,100 boxes of Nicotine
Replacement Therapy (NRT) with one -third already
used. It is anticipated that OC Partners for Tobacco
Cessation will increase the NRT demand in 2015
which caused OCHD to submit an agreement to NC
Quitline to increase NRT availability. Learn more
