I am the Wellness Program Administrator for Health Education Center (HEC),
a non-profit affiliate of Highmark Blue Cross Blue Shield located in
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.  Since 1976, HEC has provided community-based
programs that provide health education and disease prevention to
high-riszk, hard to reach and economically disadvantaged populations.

We have implemented a Health Literacy Program (HLP) for academically and
economically disadvantaged resident in several boros of the Pittsburgh
area.  Expected outcomes for our program are: to improve health liteacy,
increase knowledge of health and wellness and improve health behaviors.
We have been asked by one of our funders to compare our program's unit cost
with indudstry standards.  I am hoping that you can help me identify unit
costs to deliver programs that are designed to improve the health of
at-risk individuals or possibly point me in a direction where I might find
this or similiar information.  Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
