healthy people initiatives

Healthy People Initiatives are a set of national goals and objectives developed by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to improve the health and well-being of Americans. They focus on measurable targets, such as reducing disease rates, promoting healthy behaviors, and improving access to healthcare. These initiatives guide policymakers, healthcare providers, and communities to work together toward healthier populations over a specified period. Essentially, they serve as a roadmap to identify health priorities and track progress in areas like chronic diseases, mental health, and health equity.
