Conference Call with Surgeon General Regina Benjamin
The National Prevention and Health Promotion Strategy will include input from a range of stakeholders whose work has an impact on health, but who might not consider themselves to be health professionals.
Stakeholders from various sectors will be able to provide feedback on how their work (e.g. education, transportation, agriculture, labor, etc.) affects the nation’s health.
These materials were designed to support a discussion session with stakeholders that could be as brief as 30 minutes. These materials include:
Handouts
Additional support resources:
- Legislation (see section 4001)
- First status report
- Public input site
We invite you to join us in this opportunity to bring prevention and wellness to the forefront of the nation’s efforts to improve the health status of all Americans.
