Healthy People

Since 1980, the Healthy People initiative has set measurable objectives to improve the health and well-being of people nationwide. At the beginning of every decade, we launch a new iteration of the initiative that addresses the latest public health priorities and challenges. 

Healthy People 2030 is the initiative’s fifth iteration.

Track Health Priorities in Your Area with the Healthy People State and Territory Profiles 

Healthy People 2030 identifies public health priorities to improve health and well-being across the United States. Progress toward these priorities begins with dedicated public health professionals working in communities across the country. Healthy People’s State and Territory Profiles can support local efforts to improve health and well-being by helping users identify and track health priorities at the state and territory level.

Healthy aging is a lifelong process shaped by individual choices, opportunities, and the environments where people live. By challenging assumptions about growing older and recognizing the strengths and contributions people bring at every stage of life, we can support health, connection, participation, and well-being—and help create environments and communities where everyone has opportunities to thrive.
