BPI Mechanical in Waterford worked on the creation of the Thatcher Park Visitor\u2019s Center.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Adirondack Health Institute was awarded a five-year grant by the state Department of Health Bureau of Tobacco Control to support the reduction and prevention of tobacco use in Warren, Washington, and Saratoga counties.
\nAdvancing Tobacco-Free Communities (ATFC) will engage and educate community leaders and members, leverage resources, and mobilize organizations to advance local tobacco control efforts.
\n\u201cTobacco use is the leading cause of preventable deaths in the nation and costs New York state taxpayers more than $8 billion annually in health care costs,\u201d said Nancy Gildersleeve, executive director, DSRIP operations and Fulton County Population Health Network, Adirondack Health Institute. \u201cWe are excited to land this grant and will work tirelessly with collaborators to reverse these trends in our region.\u201d
\nAccording to Gildersleeve, the aim of the ATFC project is to foster environments supportive of policies that reinforce tobacco-free norms.
\n\u201cWe will utilize community-based strategies, including community education, mobilization, government policymaker education and advocacy with organizational decision makers to create local environments that demand policy change,\u201d said Gildersleeve.
\n\u201cCommunity engagement will play a significant role in our efforts,\u201d she said. \u201cOur Community Engagement Specialist will be collaborating with local partners from a wide array of sectors to address such matters as eliminating tobacco use in outdoor areas such as parks, playgrounds, and beaches, and passing local regulations that will require landlords and building owners to fully disclose their smoking policies in an effort to reduce exposure to second-hand smoke.\u201d
\nThe initiative will also include administration of Reality Check, a program that engages youth in action-oriented activities to mitigate, reduce, and eliminate the tobacco industry\u2019s deceptive marketing practices. Participating youth, aged 13-18, will also learn leadership skills to participate in policy-related tobacco control work.
\n\u201cThe tobacco industry spends more than half a million dollars every day in the state to place promotions in stores where kids can see them,\u201d said Gildersleeve. \u201cWe look forward to working with area youth to stem this tide.\u201d
\nThe anticipated contract period for the program is July 1, 2019 to June 30, 2024.
\nSince 1987, Adirondack Health Institute has supported hospitals, physician practices, behavioral health providers, community-based organizations and others in the region in sharing its mission of transforming healthcare and improving population health.
