Implementation of a FHWP in your community can be accomplished over 12-24 months in 5 phases: exploration, preparation, planning, implementation, and evaluation and sustainment. The anticipated scope of work includes, but is not limited to, the following activities within each of these phases. Exploration Phase (2-3 months) • Review or assess landscape of adult and childhood obesity in your community. • Review your Community Health Assessment or Community Health Improvement Plan; does implementation of a CDC-recognized FHWP align with identified needs of your community? • Identify priority populations in your community to be served by a FHWP. • Identify multisector partners that will support the planning, preparation, implementation, and sustainment of the FHWP or serve as the FHWP implementing partner (program champion, leadership, community-based organizations, early care and education, schools, health care systems, clinics, and local, tribal, or state health departments)
