Hamilton County, which is in southwestern Ohio, wants a partner to handle education and outreach to improve the health in “disproportionately impacted communities.”
The COVID-19 pandemic has heavily affected people already suffering from cardiovascular-related conditions (e.g., high blood pressure, high cholesterol, and obesity).
Those conditions are especially prevalent in households 1) below the poverty line, 2) on public assistance, 3) headed by females: 4) unemployed, and 5) with children younger than age 18.
The outreach will focus on areas with the highest concentrated disadvantaged communities, including the City of Cincinnati.
It will educate people in a culturally and linguistically appropriate manner about the treatments and resources available to reduce and prevent chronic diseases.
The campaign will reach out to people suffering from “specific conditions, create a plan for keeping themselves healthy, reduce the risk of severity by diminishing co-morbidities, such as obesity, inactivity, and smoking, and how to respond if they contract COVID” according to the RFP.
Proposals are due Nov. 10. They go to:
