Healthy People 2030 partners and communities nationwide are striving to improve health in ways that help us move toward achieving Healthy People goals and objectives. Because of their efforts, Healthy People has a profound impact on the health and well-being of the nation.
Healthy People Partnership Stories highlight the work of Healthy People’s official partners. These stories show how our partners are working across sectors to achieve health equity and our vision of a society in which all people can achieve their full potential for health and well-being across the lifespan.
Healthy People Community Stories demonstrate how communities across the country are working to address specific Healthy People 2030 topics and objectives. These communities are putting evidence-based strategies for improving health into practice or using rigorous evaluations of promising practices.
Healthy People News and Events posts feature webinars, events, and announcements. These posts provide information about the Healthy People 2030 initiative — like information about Healthy People objectives and data, Leading Health Indicators, social determinants of health, and how to use Healthy People in your work.
Healthy People Leading Health Indicators (LHIs) reflect major causes of death and disease in the United States. They track health conditions like diabetes, cancer, and obesity, as well as social determinants of health like employment, environmental health, education, and food insecurity. Together, LHIs cover every stage of life.
This blog post is part of our quarterly series highlighting the work of Healthy People 2030 Champion organizations. Healthy People 2030 Champions are organizations recognized for their work to improve the health and well-being of people in their communities and to help achieve Healthy People 2030’s goals.
Healthy People 2030 goals and objectives guide the Wisconsin Department of Health Services (DHS) throughout the development and implementation of its State Health Improvement Plan. DHS embraces its mission to “protect and promote the health and safety of the people of Wisconsin” and works toward a vision of “everyone living their best life.” Unlike other states with a standalone public health agency, DHS includes public health under its umbrella of programs and services. This brings with it both benefits and challenges.
