Our Healthy Community
Partnership What is Healthy People 2010? In January of 2000, the United
States Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released Healthy
People 2010, Understanding and Improving Health. Healthy People 2010
provides a wide range of public health opportunities and is a valuable asset
to health planners, medical practitioners, educators, elected officials and
all who work to improve the health of our community. It was created by a
broad coalition of experts from many sectors. Healthy People 2010 reflects
the very best in public planning, with overarching goals to increase quality
and years of healthy life and to eliminate health disparities. Healthy People 2010 is designed to measure progress over time and it clearly lays out a series of objectives to bring better health to all people. The document contains 467 objectives in 28 focus areas. The indicators are intended to ensure data comparability and to facilitate use of the data by public health agencies at all levels of government. |
