Introduction
Limitations
Anticipated Outcomes

• The National Health Foundation (NHF) a non-profit
  organization, and the Hospital Association of
  Southern California (HASC) have collaborated to
  develop the HOPE Hospitals Offering Prevention
  for Everyone for Health Campaign. This campaign
  brings together hospitals across Southern
  California in a coordinated effort to provide
  patients and communities with chronic disease
  prevention and management services. Participating
  hospitals will provide a series of
  community-based programs that target
  high-incidence chronic diseases.
• Participating Hospitals
• Huntington Hospital- Pasadena, CA
• White Memorial Medical Center-Los Angeles, CA
• San Antonio Community Hospital-San Bernardino, CA
• Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center-Pomona, CA
• St. Francis Medical Center-Lynwood, CA
• Torrance Memorial Medical Center-Torrance, CA
• California Hospital Medical Center-Los Angeles,
  CA

• HELP-Childhood Obesity Program
• BMIlt85 for children 5-12 ages
• Reduced weight or weight gain velocities
• Normal cholesterol levels
• Reduced body fat
• Reduced waist circumference
• Improved food/drink selection
• Increased exercise frequency and duration
• Reduced TV screen time
• Decreased fast food purchases

• Successive programs to be implemented through the
  campaign will include a childhood obesity
  program, type 2 diabetes program and
  cardiovascular disease program.
• Additional programs will be developed based on
  identified need.
• Campaign programs build upon each other and share
  core messages focusing on promoting healthy
  lifestyles and the prevention of chronic disease
  and related co-morbidities.
• All programs will run for a minimum of one year
  through the campaign.
• Hospitals are encouraged to sustain the programs
  after the one year period.

Results
Web Based Data Collection
Objective

• Participant surveys will collect clinical
  measures (weight, height, BMI, waist
  circumference) well as self-reported behavior and
  knowledge data related to nutrition and physical
  activity.
• Data is collected at three time points pre- and
  post- the workshop series and 3-6 months after
  the last workshop for follow-up.
• Data collected by hospitals will be entered into
  a web-based data collection system developed and
  maintained by NHF.
• Through the database, hospitals can run real time
  reports to view their own progress as well as
  view the aggregate progress of all hospitals.
• Data analysis will be conducted by NHF and will
  be presented to hospitals on a quarterly basis as
  well as in a year-end report.

Discussion
Summary
Background

• The HOPE for Health Campaign is based off the
  model and work of the Los Angeles Chronic Disease
  Management Consortium (CDMC).
• CDMC is a group of five hospitals located in Los
  Angeles County that over the past 10 years have
  successfully developed, piloted and evaluated
  multiple chronic disease management programs.
• Utilizing a consortium model, community-based
  programs are developed and implemented by a
  multidisciplinary team including physicians,
  nurses, social workers, promotoras etc.
• NHF provides facilitation of the collaborative
  and conducts evaluation of all programs.
• To -date programs implemented have improved
  health outcomes for participants and have
  provided over 15,000 children and families with
  chronic disease prevention and management
  education.

Conclusions

• The HOPE Campaign will kick-off by targeting
  childhood obesity.
• Hospitals will implement the Healthy Eating
  Lifestyles Program (HELP) a program curriculum
  developed by the CDMC, or will use the campaign
  evaluation process for an existing childhood
  obesity program.
• HELP and hospital childhood obesity programs are
  family focused and emphasize life-long improved
  eating and physical activity habits.

• Members of the Los Angeles Chronic Disease
  Management Consortium, especially Coralyn
