The Chatham County Board of Health is now accepting nominations for the 2009 Community Health Partnership Award.

The award is for the local community partner who has advanced the practice of public health in Chatham County during 2009 by participating in partnerships that address prevention of disease, promotion of healthy lifestyles, provision of quality health services, and protection of the environment.

Last year’s winner, the Chatham YMCA was recognized for enacting a healthy foods policy, assisting at the annual Active Chatham Reindeer Run, and for serving on health department physical activity and obesity prevention coalitions.

If you would like to nominate a community partner for their work in the field of public health, please download the form at www.chathamnc.org/publichealth or contact Vicky Guetgemann at 545-8391 for a copy.

All nomination forms should be returned to Vicky Guetgemann, Chatham County Public Health Department, P.O. Box 130, Pittsboro, NC 27312 or to by the Friday, March 26th deadline.
