Sites Resolutions Search the HEA   Health Education Advocate   Advocating for Public Health Education Legislation and Health Promotion Funding Gearing Up for the 12th Annual Health Education Advocacy Summit - Feb. 21-23, 2008, L'Enfant Plaza Hotel, Washington, DC The elections may be over, but work on behalf of health promotion is just beginning! You are invited to shape the exciting future of health reform and prevention by attending the 12th Annual Health Education Advocacy Summit, February 21-23, 2009, at the L’Enfant Plaza Hotel in Washington, DC. Faculty and students are strongly encouraged to attend, with registration rates being held at 2008 rates. The Advocacy Summit combines 1 ½ days of intensive training on policy advocacy and a core advocacy agenda, capped off by visits with legislators on Capitol Hill. Participants receive either basic or advanced-level advocacy training and briefings on specific legislative issues by experienced professionals from the government relations staffs of key public health organizations. They "walk the talk" by visiting, either individually or in state delegations, with members of Congressional representatives or other Federal officials in Washington, DC. This year’s legislative "asks" will enable the health education profession to speak with a collective voice on priority legislative issues of vital interest to the health education community, at a critical point in the development of the Federal budget. The summit is organized by the Coalition of National Health Education Organizations. More information and registration details for the Summit will be available soon. Pre-registration deadline is January 23. We must advocate. We must dare to step inside circles that are unfamiliar to us as public health leaders. We must advocate for a broader view than our own borders dictate. We must be willing to argue that public health should take a higher place on political and budgetary agendas." - David Satcher, MD, PhD, Former Surgeon General Community Health Status Indicators Report The goal of Community Health Status Indicators (CHSI) is to provide an overview of key health indicators for local communities and to encourage dialogue about actions that can be taken to improve a community’s health. The CHSI report was designed not only for public health professionals but also for members of the community who are interested in the health of their community. The CHSI report contains over 200 measures for each of the 3,141 United States counties. Although CHSI presents indicators like deaths due to heart disease and cancer, it is imperative to understand that behavioral factors such as tobacco use, diet, physical activity, alcohol and drug use, ual behavior and others substantially contribute to these deaths process. http://communityhealth.hhs.gov/HomePage.aspx Hard Copies Available: Blueprint for a Healthier America Recently Trust for America's Health (TFAH) released Blueprint for a Healthier America: Modernizing the Federal Public Health System to Focus on Prevention and Preparedness.

New Report: Investment in Disease Prevention Could Save American More than $16 billion in Five Years Return on Investment of More than 5 to 1; Focus on Increasing Physical Activity, Improving Nutrition, and Preventing Smoking A small strategic investment in disease prevention could result in significant savings in U.S. health care costs, according to a new report released July 17, 2008 by the Trust for America’s Health (TFAH). In its report, entitled Prevention for a Healthier America: Investments in Disease Prevention Yield Significant Savings, Stronger Communities, TFAH finds that an investment of $10 per person per year in proven community-based programs to increase physical activity, improve nutrition, and prevent smoking and other tobacco use could save the country more than $16 billion annually within five years. This is a return of $5.60 for every $1. Out of the $16 billion, Medicare could save more than $5 billion, Medicaid could save more than $1.9 billion, and private payers could save more than $9 billion. The economic findings are based on a model developed by researchers at the Urban Institute and a review of evidence-based studies conducted by the New York Academy of Medicine. They found that many effective prevention programs cost less than $10 per person, and that these programs have delivered results in lowering rates of diseases that are related to physical activity, nutrition, and smoking. The evidence shows that implementing these programs in communities reduce rates of type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure by 5 percent within 2 years; reduce heart disease, kidney disease, and stroke by 5 percent within 5 years; and reduce some forms of cancer, arthritis, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by 2.5 percent within 10 to 20 years. The report was supported by grants from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and The California Endowment. The full report, which also includes national estimates for savings for two years and 10 to 20 years and state-by-state findings, is available on TFAH’s Web site, www.healthyamericans.org. 11th Annual Health Education Advocacy Summit - 2008 The annual Health Education Advocacy Summit was comprised of a two-and-a-half day meeting where participants obtain assistance in polishing their advocacy skills. The Summit took place on March 15-17, 2008 at the Embassy Suites Hotel in Washington, D.C.   Along with the basic, intermediate, and advanced-level advocacy training, the summit also featured seminars on issue-specific legislative priorities by skilled professionals from the government relations staffs of key public health organizations, as well as congressional visits with legislators or key staff—either individually or in state/district delegations. Every year, the summit planning committee selects specific legislative issues to address at this conference. This year’s summit focused on:  Function 550 – which provides funding for all health and education programs, including the Public Health Service (Fact Sheet pdf file) Increased appropriations for CDC’s National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention & Health Promotion (Fact Sheet pdf file) Increased appropriations for CDC’s REACH US program to address health disparities (Fact Sheet pdf file) Increased appropriations for CDC’s Coordinated School Health Program (Fact Sheet pdf file) Passage of Kennedy/Jackson Health Disparities Bill (Fact Sheet pdf file) PowerPoint presentations about each of this year's advocacy issues are at the "Alerts" web page.   CNHEO Health Education Advocate Achievement Award Fern Walter Goodhart, MS, CHES the 2008 APHA Public Health Legislative Fellow with Senator Robert Menendez, received the Achievement Award. Honorable mention went to Laurie Cancialosi, Chief of Staff for the Chair of the New Jersey Health and Senior Services Committee, Senator Joe Vitale.   Voters Say Healthcare System Needs Complete Overhaul or Significant Change WASHINGTON, D.C.

This interactive tool presents responses from Congress at www.yourcongressyourhealth.org, allowing visitors to compare the views of their delegation.   New Health Education Advocacy Discussion Forum Formed on the HEA!
