Healthy People 2020 (HP2020) is a national health agenda
that communicates a vision and a strategy for improving the health of the
Nation's population and achieving health equity. On December 2, 2010, Healthy
People 2020 launched its ambitious, yet achievable, 10-year agenda for improving
the Nation’s health. Healthy People 2020 is the result of a multi-year process
that reflects input from a diverse group of individuals and organizations.
- HP2020 provides a framework to address risk factors and determinants of health
and the diseases and disorders that affect our communities. It enables state and
local public health departments and their partners to set priorities and assign
tasks to help achieve the objectives.
To showcase HP2020 activities in Virginia, the VDH has launched
this webpage. Virginia’s HP2020 page will showcase VA specific initiatives that
are using HP2020 goals and objectives, as well as list individuals and
organizations that are interested in partnering to implement a HP2020
initiative. If your organization has an interest in partnering to implement an
HP2020 initiative, complete the form below.
