CDC estimates that 50 percent of the mortality from the ten leading causes of death can be traced to factors including such behaviors as cigarette smoking, excessive use of alcohol, lack of exercise, and unhealthy dietary habits. Health education and health promotion programs are essential components of any comprehensive strategy to reduce preventable death, disease and disability and promote positive health practices. To be effective over time, these .programs depend upon commitment from the heart of society: the community, the neighborhood, the family and the individual. The PATCH program was recently presented to the Davis life-styl- e County Board of Health and accepted. According to Brad Nei-ge- r, health department health promotion specialist, support has not only been exhibited by the board of health but also by key community leaders who will volunteer their time to ensure PATCHS success.

Business Manager, Roger Glines, told the Board this policy would be beneficial to both Davis District and other districts in northern Utah such as Box Elder and Morgan which have expressed the desire to participate. Under the new policy other districts will be able to place orders directly in the Davis computer. Delivery tickets will be printed the same day for product pulling and assembly by school. A seven percent fee will be added to the actual cost for the use of the warehouse space. Each district will be responsible for delivery to their schools. This consolidation of purchase power is being used successfully in several other states. The plan results in significant savings to each school district. The policy will become available on April 1, 1987.
