Brainstorm Strategies
4:25pm
The group worked to finalize strategies related to the problem statements:
1. Lake County underutilizes existing facilities for affordable, organized physical activities.
 This is a long-term project to establish an activities/recreation nonprofit or parks and
recreation district with facilities and programming
 Next step is to form a committee to establish an activities/recreation nonprofit or district
(inviting Ann Crumrine and Amy Hussey)
 Pursue a technical assistant grant for a master plan with The Ford Family Foundation
 North Lake needs to create a committee and identify/develop their strategy
2. Lake County has a lack of year-round low cost physical activity opportunities, which helps to
contribute to high risks of heart disease.
Lake County CHIP will be the lead organization to provide health education, promote physical
activity and increase participation in existing physical activity programs. The effort will
include:
 Develop an inventory and assessment of existing and available year-round physical
activity programs and services within the county, including participation rates - Lake

County Public Health will conduct the survey
Develop a website that exists as a centralized resource for the community about
available physical activity opportunities within the county at any given time
Enhance the existing community walking routes within the county by gaining County
and Town recognition of formal community walking routes and establishing at least one
(and possibly multiple) kiosks on the walking routes. Additionally, maps of the walking
routes will be created and disseminated throughout the county and posted on the
community activity website.
Physical activity health education and outreach will be conducted throughout the
program year
The goals are to educate the community about the benefits of physical activity and the
consequences of inactivity, increase awareness about available and existing physical
activity opportunities, to increase the overall participation in existing programs and
services, and to lower the rates of self reported risk factors for heart disease
Another strategy includes proving more access to physical activity opportunities to lowincome individuals with risk factors for heart disease by offering scholarships to
interested and eligible participants
Providing 50 scholarships, partnering with Lake County Medical Clinic, Warner
Mountain Medical Clinic, and/or North Lake Clinic and willing physical activity
programs and services
The goals of the scholarship program are to provide more access to physical activity
programs and services to low-income and individuals with risk factors for heart disease.
Another goal will be to lower the rates of self reported risk factors for heart disease.
