Help shape Healthy People 2030: Submit comments by January 17

Take this opportunity to shape the agenda of the Department of Health and Human Services

Every 10 years, Healthy People outlines a vision for improving health and preventing unnecessary illness, injury, and death in the US. That means identifying the leading health challenges we face, setting clear goals for improvement, finding the right indicators to track progress, and setting the research agenda.

The Department of Health and Human Services is now seeking feedback on Healthy People 2030 through January 17. This is a key opportunity to shape the topic areas, objectives, metrics, and areas for further research of HHS and other government entities over the next 10 years. Community-based organizations and local health departments have valuable insights into how to take on the health challenges communities face—and that’s why your feedback matters so much.

Healthy People 2030 includes proposed objectives on topics like the public health infrastructure, the social determinants of health, environmental health, mental health, injury and violence prevention, and many others. Learn more about Healthy People 2030 and how to submit comments in this blog post. We hope you’ll join us in advocating that Healthy People 2030 promote health, safety, and wellbeing through thriving, equitable communities.

Don’t miss our e-book: A System of Prevention

Now available in print and as an e-book, Prevention Institute’s A System of Prevention: Achieving Health, Safety, and Wellbeing for All uses graphic design to illustrate the lessons we’ve learned over the last two decades about what it takes to advance quality community-level prevention and health equity.

With generous support from The California Endowment, Prevention Institute developed the System of Prevention framework to support health leaders and their partners to delve into systems-level work as they innovate, build practice, advance policy and systems changes, and generate momentum for comprehensive prevention and health equity.
