On behalf of the board of directors and staff of Health Promotion Council (HPC), I am honored to share

our 2008-2009 achievements in this annual report. Last year was a year of solid achievement and

opportunity for HPC. Despite the uncertainty of the economy and the shifting political environment,

HPC’s impact remains constant, and our commitment to serving diverse communities is unwavering.

One of our most significant achievements over the last year was expanding HPC’s geographic reach

across the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, touching nearly 60 counties. Expansion enables us to

assist even more organizations in building their capacity to implement targeted chronic disease

risk reduction strategies. We have also continued to convene and build alliances of multi-sector

groups, such as the Southeastern PA (seven county) Regional Tobacco Coalition, six Regional

Advisory Councils and the Philadelphia Urban Food and Fitness Alliance, to influence policies

and practices that address broad-based public health issues like tobacco control and prevention,

childhood obesity, food access and built environment issues. HPC works particularly to address

these issues in low wealth communities.

Join us in looking back on some of our accomplishments—none of which would be possible without

the commitment and support of our staff, board, clients, partners and friends. Bringing together

the right people in the right roles helps ensure that we continue to advance our mission and im-

prove our effectiveness. We thank everyone who has contributed to our mission and success. As

we continue in 2010, we look forward to another productive year filled with opportunities to work

together to make our diverse communities healthier and stronger.
