Healthy People

Contemporary approaches to healthy living, with an increasing attentiveness to social determinants of health and the Vital Conditions for Health and Well-Being, hold potential — even real promise — to provide us with longer and greater-quality lives, especially through our later years. Focusing and sustaining meaningful action in support of that potential — that promise — requires a broader perspective on healthy aging and an open and inclusive conversation on the subject.

We know that improving health, eliminating health disparities, and advancing health equity requires coordination and collaboration with organizations nationwide. That’s why we’re excited to invite you to become a Healthy People 2030 Champion!

On Thursday, June 22nd the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) and the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) hosted the second installment of the Healthy People 2030 Webinar Series, Leveraging Healthy People 2030 to Address Issues Affecting Children, Mothers, and Families. In addition to presentations from NCHS and ODPHP leadership, the Oklahoma Perinatal Quality Improvement Collaborative offered insight into how their state is addressing the Healthy People 2030 Leading Health Indicator on maternal mortality.
