National Prevention Summit:
Prevention, Preparedness, and Promotion
October 26–27, 2006
Hyatt Regency Washington
on Capitol Hill
Washington, D.C.
Building on last year's 3rd National Prevention Summit, the upcoming 2006
National Prevention Summit will focus on disease prevention, health
preparedness, and health promotion and will feature innovative programs that are
making a difference in communities across the country to build a HealthierUS.
These programs are focused on healthy lifestyle choices—eating a nutritious
diet, being physically active, making healthy choices, and getting preventive
screenings—to help prevent major health threats and burdens such as
obesity, diabetes, asthma, cancer, heart disease, and stroke. One special
emphasis this year will be the prevention of childhood overweight and obesity.
Another emphasis will be on preparing for public health emergencies, such as
avian influenza.
There is no cost to attend this Summit. Early registration is
recommended as space is limited. There will be no onsite registration.
