HHS, FSIS collaborate on Healthy People 2020 objectives
Every 10 years, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) assesses lessons learned over the previous decade and couples that knowledge with current data, trends, and innovations to develop the Healthy People (HP) objectives for the next decade.
HP 2020 reflects assessments of major risks to health and wellness, changing public health priorities, and emerging issues related to our nation’s health preparedness and prevention.
FSIS is working closely with HHS on setting realistic targets to reduce specific foodborne illnesses by 2020. Interested parties may provide input at public meetings scheduled November 7, 2009 in Philadephia or November 20, 2009 in Seattle. To register for either meeting, visit http://www.healthypeople.gov/hp2020/regional/default.asp
Comments may also be submitted via the HP2020 website at http://www.healthypeople.gov/hp2020 or by e-mail through HP2020@hhs.gov.
Comments will be accepted through December 31, 2009.
