A
Public Health Action Plan to Prevent Heart Disease and Stroke

Section 3. Recommendations: A Call to Action
Summary
The Action Plan
outlines recommendations developed by five Expert Panels that were convened
by CDC to address the plan's five essential components. These
recommendations were reviewed by a Working Group, which determined that two
of the recommendations were paramount and should be elevated above the
others as fundamental requirements for implementing this plan (see Appendix D for details of this process).
The two fundamental requirements are followed by 22 recommendations, which
are presented according to the Expert Panel that produced them.
The Working Group also
reviewed the premises that each panel used to guide its recommendations and
determined that three of these were relevant to all five components. These
were deemed overarching premises and precede the recommendations in this
section. All of the other premises outlined by the panels are presented in Appendix D.
Most of the
recommendations are directed to the public health community as a whole,
especially public health agencies and their partners, which are called to
action by this plan. The hope is that all interested agencies,
organizations, and individuals will consider these recommendations and the
related action steps outlined in Section 4
and will contribute their participation and support.
