I'm the coordinator of the Quebec Healthy Cities Network, a 10 years old movement that presently includes 115 municipalities. Our Web site is close to completion and will include, among other things, the just published directory of our network (with a listing of more than 850 community development projects). But you wil need an English/French dictionary to go through it. We hope to be online soon after Christmas. A warm wellcome to all !

I am the real John Sullivan (not that other guy who beat me to the guest book). I came to this realization after one brief moment of deja vu...or did I just dream that I was experiencing deja vu? It is with that degree of certainty that I proclaim I am John Sullivan. Truth be known I am just one of 300,000+ pedestrians in Wichita looking for ways to make things work. My preliminary review has me believing this site can help (have I thought that before?). Does the occurrence of one thought prove our existence as Descartes believed? I don't know. The dream of a deja vu experience ought to mean something, shouldn't it?

I work as the Community Health Planner for the Cecil County Health Department, Elkton, MD 21921, and we have had seven Community Task Groups working on local health problems for the past two years to develop local health plans. We are now getting to the implementation phase, but for some things we still need baseline data.
