Activities accomplished: include process used, participants, partners, and significant dates/timelines: In conjunction with the Nevada State Health Division Oral Health Program, NvHSA coordinated three regional oral health strategic planning sessions. Initial planning was done via conference call with the HS grantees from each region, Ms. Forsch and Nicole King. The initial planning established the time, date, location, planning session agenda and the key stakeholders (both community and HS employees) to be invited. (List of session attendees is attached). Invitations were created by Ms. Forsch and sent from the NvHSA office. The Las Vegas regional oral health planning session was held on Friday, February 4, 2004; the Northeastern Nevada session was held on Friday, January 28, 2005 and the Northern Nevada session was held on Friday, February 25, 2005. Ms. Forsch, in collaboration with Dr. Reg Louie, prepared in advance a draft Action Plan detailing a set of proposed goals, objectives and strategies. These draft Action Plans were distributed to the HS grantees prior to the session for their review and approval. The draft Action Plan was used to guide the sessions and served as a means of determining current resources as well as areas where further assistance was needed.

Activities originally proposed and how they relate to action plan (copy or summarize fromproposal with any revisions submitted after acceptance):

The Nevada Head Start Association, in conjunction with Nevada’s Head Start granteesand the Nevada State Health Division, propose to hold three regional oral health strategicplanning sessions to address the oral health issues facing the state. An oral health strategicplanning session will be held in the southern, rural and northern regions of the state. ChristineForsch, the State Health Division’s Oral Health Program Manager, will provide the content andexpertise during the planning sessions, as well as assist with the overall planning of the sessions.Ms. Forsch will also assist in identifying and contacting key community stakeholders and dentalcare providers to attend the planning sessions. Head Start grantees will assist in identifyingparticipants, help with creating the agenda for the session held in their particular region, and willbe key participants in the planning sessions. NvHSA Coordinator, Nicole King, will serve asproject manager implementing and overseeing all aspects of the project. Specifically, Ms. Kingwill be responsible for the planning, coordination, facilitation, meeting review and follow-up,drafting final strategic plan for each region, and writing the final report.

Activities accomplished: include process used, participants, partners, and significantdates/timelines:In conjunction with the Nevada State Health Division Oral Health Program, NvHSA coordinatedthree regional oral health strategic planning sessions. Initial planning was done via conferencecall with the HS grantees from each region, Ms. Forsch and Nicole King. The initial planningestablished the time, date, location, planning session agenda and the key stakeholders (bothcommunity and HS employees) to be invited. (List of session attendees is attached). Invitationswere created by Ms. Forsch and sent from the NvHSA office. The Las Vegas regional oralhealth planning session was held on Friday, February 4, 2004; the Northeastern Nevada sessionwas held on Friday, January 28, 2005 and the Northern Nevada session was held on Friday,February 25, 2005.

Ms. Forsch, in collaboration with Dr. Reg Louie, prepared in advance a draft Action Plandetailing a set of proposed goals, objectives and strategies. These draft Action Plans weredistributed to the HS grantees prior to the session for their review and approval. The draftAction Plan was used to guide the sessions and served as a means of determining currentresources as well as areas where further assistance was needed.

Immediate outcomes (attach any reports or other documents/materials):The immediate outcomes achieved are the detailed Action Plans developed for each region.These documents are attached. The Action Plans have been adopted by the regional dentalcoalitions (i.e. Southern Oral Health Coalition, the Tooth Fairy Council and the Coalition forUnderserved Populations). Coalition members are the “right” people to help execute the ActionPlans as they have access to resources and are able to assist HS grantees in achieving their oralhealth goals.

A notable outcome is the relationship that has been established between the Southern Oral HealthCoalition and the EOB Head Start health staff. Since the planning session, the Southern OralHealth Coalition has created a Head Start subcommittee which meets monthly and guides theexecution of the Action Plan. This coalition, in collaboration with Ms. Forsch, is in the processof developing in English and Spanish a Power Point presentation on the importance of fluoride.This presentation will be used to educate HS start staff and will be distributed to the otherregions upon completion. They are also in the process of developing the oral health SingleOverriding Communication Objectives which will be distributed to the other regions as well.And they are developing a Risk Assessment tool to identify the level tooth decay for each child.The tool is designed to be used by any HS staff, regardless of their experience with oral healthissues.

Additional follow-up activities planned:NvHSA plans to add an oral health update to our quarterly meeting agendas. Each region will beasked to discuss ways in which their Action Plans are being implemented and to identify anyresources needed. It is expected that the regional dental coalitions will assist with the on-goingprocess of executing the Action Plans.

Need for additional resources to accomplish other follow-up activities (please be specific):Funding for State Oral Health Program Manager to travel to dental coalition meetings to providetechnical assistance and to monitor the implementation of the Action Plans.
