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

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.

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.
