Attachment A
Program Implementation Questions
1. Provide a brief narrative description of your proposed program that will be implemented in
SFY15, including context for the activities listed in Program Implementation Plan.
(Attachment B)
South Phoenix Healthy Start (SPHS) proposes continued focus on the delivery of prenatal outreach
services to families greatest at risk for poor or compromised birth outcomes based upon the standards
of practice outlined by First Things First. The primary service focus for this program will continue to be
all families regardless of race and ethnicity with children ages 2-5 years living in the target area.
Additionally, outreach and recruitment strategies will continue to be developed and implemented at a
community based level and will be aimed at reaching single-parent, female-headed households, teen
parents, pregnant and parenting families living in all the South Phoenix Regional zip codes.
Recruitment into services will continue to be performed by SPHS staff; contracted Promotoras and
Community Mobilizers, program volunteers, consortia and FTF partner organizations and FTF funded
Parents Partners Plus. Trained Promotoras, Community Mobilizers and volunteers will continue to
identify specific South Phoenix, Laveen and Maryvale neighborhood and even individual needs around
perinatal health, conduct health promotion and early childhood education messaging activities,
distribute health promotion and community resource materials, link families to health care and other
providers and provide feedback to SPHS regarding successes, needs and recommendations for future
work within the community.
On-going participation in community health and resource fairs; health, safety and development
promotion and awareness activities will continue throughout the grant period. SPHS will sponsor
several large scale "community forum" type activities focused on domestic violence, child abuse
prevention, infant mortality and breastfeeding awareness in 201412015.
SPHS staff received certification training to become ACA counselors in 2013 and begin assisting with
enrollment of family members and community into health care through Arizona's exchange. SPHS will
continue their roll in assisting with enrollment, including AHCCCS and provide direct links and referrals
for early prenatal care, establishment of a medical and pediatric home, immunization and oral health
clinics. SPHS will maintain and grow the strategy of co-locating Healthy Start team members at
community based locations such as hospitals and health clinics (Maryvale and St, Joseph's Hospitals,
MIHS Family Health Centers, Mountain Park Health Center) and WIC offices to assist not only in
enrolling families into Healthy Start but in linking them to other FTF funded programs and community
resources needed. At least four "neighborhood hubs" will be established within South Phoenix, Laveen
and Maryvale neighborhoods; in churches, community centers or schools and operated by community
volunteers as a means of providing social support, local resources, early childhood education and
health promotion information to a greater community.
SPHS will continue providing other core services; individual specific home visitation and case
management, perinatal health education, infant health, safety and developmental assessment,
1

depression screening and preconception/interconceptional and postnatal service coordination and
education delivered by Healthy Start Community Health Workers (CHW) under the supervision of a full
time nurse and social worker. Frequency of home visitation is adjusted based on level of risk and to
meet accessibility needs of families (i.e. extended and weekend hours.) Participant-centered Family
Development Plans will be established by the development of goals and objectives based on the
family's needs for accessing and utilizing perinatal and infant health care, reducing risk and isolation,
improvements in healthy behaviors, participating in education or work related activities. Progress on
the accomplishment of these goals and other dimensions related to perinatal risk and resiliency will be
monitored using the Life Skills Progression tool. Small age specific and prenatal trimester specific
groups or cohorts will continue to receive prenatal and parenting education conducted by health
educators, professional staff and CHWs in community based locations, i.e. high schools, satellite
locations throughout target areas such as Maryvale Hospital Family Education Center and Valle del Sol
Health Clinic at 43rd Avenue and Thomas Road, Core HS services will continue to be supported
through contracted prenatal and familial support services provided by doulas, child birth education,
intimate partner violence group facilitation, family literacy "reading from birth" and male
involvement/fatherhood classes. These services will continue to assist in contributing to increasing
individual knowledge and skill of recognizing and preventing prematurity, managing chronic disease,
building resiliency by building personal assets and accessing local resources that will begin to minimize
risk and contribute to more positive birth outcomes,
Preconception health counseling will be conducted by CHW and trained Promotoras in target area high
schools, satellite locations and during specific community events focused on teen prevention of repeat
pregnancies and to promote health and healthy behavior prior to pregnancy. Reproductive life plans
will be distributed to participants receiving the preconception counseling with referrals to family
planning and other medical providers. Free pregnancy testing through a private grant made in behalf
of SPHS through Healthy Mothers, Healthy Babies at Maryvale Hospital is conducted in the laboratory
and results provided to SPHS staff who contact, counsel, enroll and refer dependent on the results of
the test and to help assure early prenatal care is initiated or preconception health education is
delivered.
Community- based, population-based health promotion on perinatal/preconception and infant health,
safety and development topics will be provided during various community outreach events throughout
the year, reaching thousands of target community residents. Venues such as health fairs, community
events at churches and community centers, neighborhood gatherings, school orientations and parent
nights. Multi-family housing activity nights are examples of opportunities in which SPHS and its
contracted Promotoras and program volunteers reach deeper into the community with health promotion
topics relevant to the program. An annual health education plan will be developed in September 2014
to identify and guide specific perinatal and infant health, safety and development themes addressed by
monthly educational and promotional activities throughout the region.
Monthly SPHS Community Consortium meetings will continue to be held throughout the year within the
target area; providing strategic planning, health education, partner networking and program service
awareness. The 10th Annual SPHS Community Consortium Strategic Planning session will be held
2

December 5, 2014. At least half of the consortium meetings will be held at Central Phoenix locations
throughout 2014/2015.
Annual Professional Development Plans and ongoing training and education strategies will continue to
focus on individual employee performance improvement. These plans are developed annually with all
employees as a part of Maricopa County's performance management system. In-services,
educational classes, tuition assistance programs, conference attendance and other training events will
be integral components of employee development throughout the next grant cycle. Monthly staff
meetings and bi-weekly individual reflective and directive supervision meetings will provide
opportunities for staff and management to discuss individual performance, protocols, standards and
expectations and to develop strategies to come in alignment. Topics critical to staff development over
the next year will include: mandated reporting, diversity and culturally competent practice,
communication, motivation, resiliency building and asset based community development,
Representative employees, program participants and community members/partners will attend the
annual FTF conference in summer 2014 and the Healthy Start Spring Education conference in
Washington DC in March 2015. These educational opportunities offer learning program specific
information and resources, network building and conducting advocacy while representing the collective
impact, successes and challenges experienced by the target area families.
On-going monthly quality assurance reviews will be conducted on case management procedures,
documentation and data entry, health education delivery, assessment and resultant development
planning on enrolled families. Reflective and directive or technical assistance supervision will be
provided to staff on a monthly basis to assure performance standards are met. Quarterly and annual
surveys and assessments of program participants' progress, prenatal characteristics, and community
based data (epidemiologic data, community partners and consortia members' satisfaction and strategic
input) will be conducted and analyzed for programmatic effectiveness and modification throughout the
next grant cycle. See Question #3 for detail on utilization of programmatic data and implementation
strategies.
2. If applicable, explain any proposed modifications for SY15, including the change(s) to be
made, how they were determined to be necessary, and how they will contribute to the
success
of your program. Please note that program modifications cannot deviate from the original
scope of work or applicable standards of practice.
No modifications to the program are proposed for SY 15. However, in an effort to begin
establishing evidence of the effectiveness of the various activities through statistical analysis
through a mixed method model of evaluation. Bids for evaluation support will be acquired through
the Maricopa County Procurement and Solicitation process. Healthy Start has a robust data
collection system that would benefit from professional analysis in order to better inform
programmatic growth and design, as well as dissemination of lessons learned.
3. Describe how the program data will be utilized to improve program implementation. Include
assurances that data collection and submission will be timely and ongoing.

The following table provides an overview of the data collection and quality assurance plan for the
SPHS program during the 2015 grant year:

Professional and Outside Services:
All contracts for professional services will be procured following Maricopa County Procurement
code requiring open Request for Proposals for all contracted services using providers from
current County vendor listings. Rates for contracted services were determined from averages
obtained from recent procurement contracts meeting similar specifications within Maricopa
County. Additionally, Maricopa County Compensation market midranges were averaged into
the salary rates for contracted services. Due to the high level of risk and comprehensive
prenatal and post natal case management services provided, professional consultation services
will be contracted to assist the SPHS case management team with specific population outreach
and recruitment, special needs care and service coordination, individual prenatal, post natal
and infant support (i.e. doula), special age-specific developmental, family development
planning consultation.

additional support prenatally, during the birthing process and after the baby is born. A rate of
$500.00 per participant family will be contracted for 35 births during this grant period for a
total of $17,500. These contracts will be awarded to multiple individuals selected through
procurement process or to a single organization that coordinates prenatal support or doulas to
provide these services; the total amount will not be awarded to a single individual doula in
total.
Community Education and Trainings: Community based trainings and workshops will be
scheduled and taught or facilitated by subject matter experts who will provide staff, partners,
participants and community residents with information on male involvement, child birth
education, asset building community development theory and practice, age and gender specific
parenting techniques, teen programs, communication skills, health disparities, etc. Participant
training events and workshops are offered within the community on a variety of different
perinatal and parenting topics open to the program participants and community using
contracted, outside sources and subject matter experts. All sessions are opened to community
partners and in many cases the general target community to offer training opportunities and to
promote continuity of perinatal health concepts and to distribute knowledge base deeper into
the community. Each session cost for contracted facilitator, including their prep time and
materials is based on averages of three most recent procurement contracts for similar services,
when contractors provide all materials as well as their services.

Pronnotoras/Communitv based Site Coordination Due to the on-going requirement for outreach
cultivation at all levels within the community, this contract is responsible for assisting in
"ramping up" recruitment of Central Phoenix families and making referrals to needed services
especially to meet service gap neighborhoods, isolated zip codes etc. Promotoras will recruit
women and families for perinatal services from Healthy Start and other FTF projects and
partner organizations based on their specific individual needs. Promotoras will provide
neighborhood by neighborhood outreach, and focus on hard to reach and low service/provider
areas. They will act as the point of contact for the community and will provide quarterly
updates with different health, development themes and community partner/resource

community meetings, neighborhood associations, etc. Promotoras services will be contracted
through a community agency. A total of $ 10,000.00 to include coordination of Promotoras and
their compensation when working on monthly and quarterly outreach projects/events.
Language Line Access to a language translation line is essential when staff need to
communicate a specific message to a non-English speaking clients and a bilingual staff member
is not available. This resource is also very helpful when non-English speaking community
members are seeking services, resources or referrals. Average potential cost per year is $250
total/year.
Evaluation Consultation
Bids for evaluation support will be acquired through the Maricopa County Procurement and
Solicitation process. Healthy Start has a robust data collection system that would benefit from
professional analysis in order to better inform programmatic growth and design, as well as
dissemination of lessons learned. Current vendors with Maricopa County are averaging
$120/hour. This funding cost will be shared with Central Phoenix Regional Council; this budget
will contribute allow for 15 hours evaluation services/month x 9 months = $16,200 annual cost.

Travel:
In State-Taxi Services Taxi service is provided on an as- needed basis so that clients may attend
Childbirth Education classes; these classes occur in the evening and when the clients are in their
third trimester of pregnancy, making other options such as the bus not a safe option. This
service is a last resort when it is determined that the client truly has no other viable resource
for transportation to the classes. Taxi services average $350/series x 5 series = $1,750.
In State Travel—Staff Mileage Outreach and home based core services are the foundation of
