Appendix B. Contributors to Healthy People 2010
Healthy People 2010 is the product of a national effort that has involved individuals, organizations, and agencies from across the United States. Work on the report began in 1996 with a meeting of the Healthy People 2000 Consortium and the convening of focus groups. A public comment period in 1997 and testimony from six public hearings in 1998 provided valuable public input. The development of the objectives was guided by the Secretary’s Council on National Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives for 2010, chaired by Donna E. Shalala with David Satcher as Vice Chair, and by the Healthy People Steering Committee, currently chaired by Nicole Lurie. The 28 focus areas were developed by work groups coordinated by lead agency scientists from the Federal Government.
Preparation of the report was sponsored by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, through a project coordinated by the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion under the leadership of Claude Earl Fox, Susanne A. Stoiber, Linda D. Meyers, and Randolph F. Wykoff.
