Training Opportunity
The Centre County Partnership for Community Health will be holding its first follow-up training to the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System – Over Sampling Program (BRFSS-OSP) Survey Results: “Let’s Make the BRFSS-OSP Data Work for Centre County!” on May 29, 2009 at Celebration Hall in State College from 9:00 a.m. – 3:30 p.m. Based on the BRFSS-OSP results, the lecture aims to provide participants with the tools for data interpretation and priority identification. The afternoon session will be spent identifying specific health priorities for Centre County.

The Partnership has invited Jonathan Johnson, a Senior Policy Analyst for the Center for Rural Pennsylvania to be the speaker. Mr. Johnson has spent nearly 19 years analyzing and evaluating rural policies and programs for the above mentioned organization, which is a legislative agency of the PA General Assembly. Some of his accomplishments include developing and maintaining the State’s first rural database on socio-economic and demographic factors; evaluating statewide economic development programs for impact on rural areas; and initiating community visioning projects in four rural PA communities.

This training opportunity is made possible by a community grant from the Centre County United Way. Contact:
