PTFN Health organizations are great help locally To the Editor: As a member of the Colum- bia Health Coalition (CHC), I would like to extend a special thanks and acknowledgment to the Centers for Disease Con- trol and Prevention (CDC) for sponsoring ACHIEVE (Action Communities for Health, Inno- vation, and EnVironmental changE). Their trickle down and direct funding grants to the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NAC- CHO) and other organizations played an integral role in the transition to what is now known as the Columbia Health Coali- tion, comprised chiefly of front line volunteers. Through this partnership and the various lo- cal, community programs, CHC has been able to play an impor- tant part in implementing stra- tegies that support and sustain healthy lifestyles where people live, work, learn, and play in Columbia County, which is also July 27, 28 & 29 Action Ads INEXPENSIVE – EFFECTIVE 503-429-9410 Letters From page 18 one another and those wonder- ful stories of Vernonia’s history. I wish we could have settled in your town. While we don’t al- ways know what’s going on in one another’s heart, we must all be understanding and choose to solve issues in an honorable manner. Wisdom is understanding what’s really im- portant. A huge thank you to Sandy Welch, Rosie, Mr. Underwood, Mr. Fellas, Mrs. Campbell, Mrs. Allen, Mr. Sword, The Webb Family, Lindsey Family, Ver- nonia Rural Fire, DeAnna Pearl, Bill Yeo, Linda and crew at Sentry Market, Staff at the Senior Center, and many oth- ers. You all taught our family what is truly important in life. The Brandt Family St. Helens Lulu’s Barn Sale represented by our logo, and goals of CHC. I think I speak for the other volunteers when I say, the volunteers would like to especially thank the Public Health Foundation for the in- valuable help of Ashley Swan- son and Sherrie Ford of Public Health. Their leadership has been instrumental in sustaining and creating a successful, long term, county and community coalition of dedicated volun- teers.
