Curious: Every crib holds a scientist.

Participating Local Health Department: TOMPKINS COUNTY HEALTH DEPARTMENT Contact: Frank Kruppa, Public Health Director, [email protected] Ted Schiele, Planner/Evaluator, [email protected] Participating Hospital: CAYUGA MEDICAL CENTER Contact: Amy Gecan, Director Strategic Planning & Integration, [email protected] Plan Author and Primary Collaborators Plan Author: Tompkins County Health Department Primary Collaborators: Cayuga Medical Center, Human Services Coalition of Tompkins County, Mental Health Association in Tompkins County, Tompkins County Mental Health Department Submitted: January 20, 2017 COMMUNITY HEALTH IMPROVEMENT PLAN, 2016–2018 TOMPKINS COUNTY, N.Y. Executive Summary Priorities and Disparities Continuing with the Prevention Agenda choices made in 2013, Tompkins County is focusing on Preventing Chronic Disease, and Promoting Mental Health and Preventing Substance Abuse as its two Prevention Agenda priorities for 2016–2018. With populations and key employers located in and just outside the City and Town of Ithaca garnering so much of the county focus, we recognize that deliberate attention must be paid to the rural populations due to their high potential for isolation from services. Thus, the rural population has been identified as our primary disparity group. In addition, health improvement initiatives will be targeting communities of color within the City of Ithaca, and more broadly, individuals who are of low socio-economic status (SES). Changes since 2013 Focus areas, goals, and objectives within the priority to Prevent Chronic Disease remain largely unchanged from those established in 2013: diabetes prevention, Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) and asthma action education, and tobacco use.

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION The TCG program funds up to 1/3 of new construction, expansion, and renovation projects, and up to 100% of related feasibility studies, for tourism capital projects valued at about $75,000 or higher. Eligible applicants are large, tourist/visitor generating, not-for-profit or public-purpose projects. Projects include new facilities such as the Museum of the Earth, renovations such as the State Theatre, and projects that improve exhibits and visitor amenities such as the Sciencenter’s ocean touch tank and the Waterfront Trail interpretive panels. III. CHALLENGES & OPPORTUNITIES Challenges: (1) In the past, to accommodate requests, TCG resorted to providing multi-year grants as a norm. By 2012 funds available in year one of the grant cycle had dropped to $54,000. Since then The TCG Review Committee has reversed this trend and rebuild the funding structure so that in 2017, $177,000 were available for awards in the application year.

    Your guide to resources that support all the dimensions of your wellbeing. HR.CORNELL.EDU/WELLBEING 1 2 1.6.20 Dear Colleague, During your time with Cornell, we want you to be well and THRIVE. Cornell invests in benefits, programs, and services to support employee wellbeing. This guide features a wide range of university (and many community!) resources available to support you in various dimensions of your wellbeing. As you browse this guide, which is organized around Cornell’s Seven Dimensions of Wellbeing model pictured below, you’ll find many resources cross-referenced in multiple dimensions. This illustrates the multifaceted nature of wellbeing. It is often non-linear in nature, and our most important elements shift as our work and Mary Opperman personal lives evolve. CHRO and Vice President Division of Human Resources We experience wellbeing both personally and as members of our various communities, including our work community. We each have opportunities to positively contribute to Cornell’s culture of wellbeing as we celebrate our colleagues’ life events, support one another during difficult times, share resources, and find creative approaches to how, where, and when work gets done. Behind this page is a “quick start directory” of Cornell wellbeing-related contacts. Please save this page and reach out any time you need assistance! Although some of these resources are specific to Cornell’s Ithaca campus, we recognize and are continuing to focus on expanding offerings to our employees in all locations.
