Healthy People 2020
The Department of Health and Human Services is seeking input from communities and stakeholders on its draft set of objectives for Healthy People 2020
The public's participation will help shape Healthy People 2020 purpose, goals, organization, and action plans. According to HHS, "Every 10 years, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) leverages scientific insights and lessons learned from the past decade, along with new knowledge of current data, trends, and innovations. Healthy People 2020 will reflect assessments of major risks to health and wellness, changing public health priorities, and emerging issues related to our nation's health preparedness and prevention."
