I Whitby Generai Hospital and Durham Save-A-Heart will join forces, with the aid of a govern- mcnt grant, to launch a proffam to promote heaithier living or a heaithier heart. In the fMIl of 1988, when the Ontariogovenment announced it would distribute grants totally $1-million for health- promotion projects, Durham Save-A-Heart applied for a grant to subsidize a program aimed at promoting a healthier heart. Th e program would be aimed at stressing the importance of 'Iow fat diets in preventing heart disease. With 47 per cent of deaths in Canada in 1987 directly attribu- ted to hieart failure and heart- reiated diseases, executive direc- tor of the organization, Barbara Hiemstra said the organization realized burham Save-A-Heart could use the funding to help reduce that mortality rate. ccWe realized with the govern- ment grants, we couldl reach more people." However, the organization was denied the funding, as was Whitby General Hospital, which hadi applied for the funýding of a siiar program. Last July, the two parties re- applied for the funding, with a joint application and an agree- ment to collaborate on one pro- gram. Last week, Save-A-Heart recei- ved notice that the two agencies would share in a $70,000 grant. Hiemstra says rnany details have not corne forward from the ministry, such as when the money ill be realized. She also incidates that, although the application was made for a one-year prograin, the grant may apply to -a two-year prograrn. e roegram may have to be aduted slightly, if the program is to run for two years,» said Hiemstra. On its on. nal application, Save-A-Heart Iad liste second- ary school students as its prhn- ary target group for its'health promotion and education pro- gram. The hospitai bas listed the employees of large industries as itprmarytarget group iermsa says t a mi plans are still in thL works for the program; and that an advisory committee i5 now being formed to oversee the prograni and to ensure %a11 the right people are being reached" through the pro- gramn. However, she knows that a nutrionist will be hired to deve- op material on the importance of healthy eating habits: "to main- tain a healthy heart, wvhich will be distributed to the higfr school students. T he idea of offering a weekly special in school cafeteria, which would promote a healthy diet, is also being considered, according to Hiemstra. 1She ako say that concept may be expanded to large companies that ha ve cafeteria service. While the- details stili need to be ironed out, the grant approval will help to set the wheels in motion. And as Hiemstra poi.nùs out, the program-wili «help to reach more people" about the link'between heart disease and dioet. . According to Rick Kosteczko at the District Health Council, "the joint effort represents a new direction for health care in the future." "The prograi achieves both a co-operative approval between hospitals and community agen- cdes, as well as addressing the- preventative aspects of health care,'"he says. Eric Hanna, assistant execu- tive director of adminstration service at Whitby General Hospi- tal, says the hospital is extremely pl'ease d with the announcement, enabling it to demonstrate its commitmient to developing linkages with com- munity agencies and furtheringr its strategic plan to provide more health prevention prograins.
