Event Details
Take an important step toward a healthier tomorrow! Join Health and Human Services Secretary Tommy G. Thompson, special guests, educators, business and community leaders, and policymakers for an in-depth look at our nation’s health. Find out what communities across the country are doing to tackle obesity, diabetes, cancer, asthma, and heart disease and stroke and to increase physical activity, improve nutrition, promote preventive screenings, and encourage healthy choices.
This summit is focused on building a healthier nation with goals to
Ø Establish the preeminent platform for an annual “State of the Nation’s Health” assessment on the latest research, economics, trends, and technology related to the President’s HealthierUS initiative and chronic disease prevention and health promotion.
Ø Bring together the foremost authorities on prevention, science, state and local policy, and effective intervention programs.
Ø Expand community outreach efforts and effective strategies for building private-public collaborations to support chronic disease prevention and behavioral change.
Ø Gain access to the best “how to” learning resources, best practices, and implementation methods to help make a difference in your community.
Ø Provide continuing education credits for health professionals and students.
The registration price is $350 before April 1, 2004; $450 after April 1, 2004; $500 on site; and $75 per day for students with a valid student ID.
