Washington County Department of Public Health and Environment is pleased to announce that
the Community Partner Project for City of Cottage Grove has been funded by the Statewide
Health Improvement Program (SHIP) grant. Your project met the criteria for the use of SHIP
funds to aid in increasing opportunities for non - motorized transportation and /or increasing access
to community recreation facilities. The SHIP program is an integral part of Minnesota's nation -
leading 2008 health reform law which strives to reduce overall health care costs; help
Minnesotans lead longer, healthier lives by preventing the chronic disease risk factors of tobacco
use and exposure and the resulting economic burdens; poor nutrition; and physical inactivity.
A funding process for all Washington County projects has been established in collaboration with
the Minnesota Institute of Public Health who will act as the fiscal agent. SHIP staff has set up a
conference call opportunity as the next step in learning about the process and timelines.
The partner project phone conference will be on Thursday, January 6th at 10:00 AM.
Please call 877- 985 -3369, when prompted enter participant code: 2760644.
To reserve your phone line for the call, please RSVP to Ann Pung - Terwedo, Senior Planner at
Ann. Pung- Terwedo(aco.washington.mn.us .
If you have a conflict on this date, please contact Ann to set up a separate time to meet regarding
project funding.
Again, congratulations and we look forward to successful SHIP Community Partner Projects.
Sincerely,
Lowell R. Johnson
Director
