CC: 2 State of North Carolina Department of Environment, Health and Natural Resources j * A Division of Adult Health Promotion James B. Hunt, Jr., Governor 1 )� u Jonathan B. Howes, Secretary July 20, 1994 ( I NI Ft J. Dale Simmons, M.D., Director Mr Daniel B Reimer - Health Director Orange County Health Dept 300 West Tryon St Hillsborough NC 27278 Dear Mr. Reimer: SCREENING A five percent(5%) increase over the amount originally budgeted for FY 94/95 has been approved by CDC for all BCCCP contractors. The effective date of the increase is July 1, 1994. The additional amount may only be used for screening and follow-up services or to support re-screening and data entry activities. The goal of the BCCCP this year is to increase the number of older and minority women age-appropriate screened for BOTH breast and cervical cancer. This is a critical year for the BCCCP. During FY 94/95, expenditures and screening will be tracked closely. After including the 5% increase, your total screening contract amount for the FY 94/95 is $25,950. Your minimum number of women to be screened for FY 94/95 is 191, of which 75% MUST be over age 50. This percentage does not change if additional women are screened. The enclosed Summary Guidelines provide clarification regarding use of BCCCP funds. OUTREACH We are pleased to inform you that your agency is hereby awarded outreach funds in the amount of $2,138 based on your June 15, 1994 application and contract supplement request. The funds, which are effective July 1, 1994, are provided based on your current BCCCP performance and plans to conduct local outreach activities. It is expected that this funding will be of great benefit to you in reaching your target number of women to be served, especially with hard to reach older minority women. There, are two requirements for counties awarded outreach funding: 1. Attendance at two proposed training sessions. These will be held in the western/eastern regions in October 1994 and March 1995. 2. Submission of a brief progress report (see enclosed) in November 1994 and May 1995. To assist you locally with this new outreach effort, we have employed Karen Uebele, an experienced health educator, to provide technical assistance and training. She will send an informational packet and will contact you to determine the best times/dates for the proposed training sessions during this month. Karen can be reached at 919/715-0117.
