Healthy People is a national health promotion and disease prevention
initiative that brings together national, state, and local government
agencies; nonprofit, voluntary, and professional organizations; businesses;
communities; and individuals to improve the health of all Americans,
eliminate disparities in health, and improve years and quality of healthy
life.
The new Healthy People 2010 goals and objectives were launched by U.S.
Department of Health and Human Services Secretary Donna E. Shalala and
U.S. Surgeon General David Satcher at the Partnerships for Health in
the New Millennium Conference, January 24-28, 2000, in Washington, D.C.
Many people joined the national conference via Webcast or satellite
broadcast. You can now view
all broadcast sessions on-demand via the Internet. The full
text of the Conference Edition of the document is also online.
