Mission
:
Our
Health Management Program upholds the mission to sponsor and/or
develop conferences, workshops, and clinics in any discipline related
to health, with a specific emphasis on community mobilization and
collaboration. Our current programs focus on tobacco-use prevention
and cessation, as well as diabetes and obesity education and prevention.
We specialize in delivery of professional development opportunities
at all levels from chairing steering committees, to ground-level
logistics management, to design and production of conference documents
and technical Proceedings. For the last five years, we have worked
closely in these areas with our Native American communities in Montana
and around the Northwest.

comprehensive training and technical assistance in tobacco-use
prevention to Montana 's 56 counties and Native American Tribal
Organizations and Urban Centers

the MTUPP vision to eliminate commercial tobacco abuse, and ultimately
reverse the trend of tobacco-related death and disease across
the state of Montana
- Continue
to emphasize physical activity, healthy nutrition, and its relationship
to diabetes and tobacco-related diseases such as cancer and heart
disease, specifically through a "Healthy Families Initiative"
program working with partners such as Salish Kootenai College
and Montana State University Team Nutrition.
- Continue
working with sub-contractors on attempting to develop a "spit
tobacco" strategy with potential to set national standards in
addressing behavioral change in spit tobacco.
- Develop
a full-fledged Healthy Families Initiative program working with
Federal and State agencies and stakeholders across Montana
- Expand
public health related services and support to Montana 's Native
American communities, including diabetes education and prevention
and obesity/cardiovascular diseases while concurrently expanding
our professional and administrative staff to include Native American
experts in these fields
- Develop
workshops that provide a cultural foundation for working with
tribal entities on tobacco use prevention.
- Support other states (e.g., Washington
, Oregon , and Idaho ) in working with their tribes on traditional
use of tobacco as a model to curb commercial tobacco abuse with
the possibility of international collaboration with developing
countries
