Summers, MPH, DrPH <br />Health Director <br />Orange County Health Department <br />300 West Tryon Street <br />Hillsborough, NC 27278 <br />Dear Dr. Summers: <br />As Interim Superintendent of Orange County Schools, I fully support our <br />collaboration with the Orange County Health Department and the Chapel Hill <br />Carrboro City Schools in implementing a multifaceted project to prevent tobacco <br />initiation and promote smoking cessation among Orange County youth. Securing <br />funds from the Health and Wellness Trust Community and School Prevention <br />Programs grant would allow us to create new initiatives and enhance existing ones <br />and provide needed prevention and intervention services to our students. <br />As Orange County Schools begins to work towards a 100% tobacco -free policy, the <br />support of this grant will give us the opportunity to provide smoking cessation and <br />support programs to employees in our district. <br />Again, we look forward to being a part of a countywide effort to prevent tobacco <br />initiation and promote smoking cessation among youth. <br />Sincerely, <br />Dr. Michael F. Williams <br />Interim Superintendent <br />/pmc <br />
