Webinar: Using Law and Policy to Promote Health Equity and Achieve Healthy People Goals Thursday, June 13, 2019 05:00 PM UTC - 07:00 PM UTC
This webinar, hosted by the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) as part of the Healthy People Law and Health Policy Project, will focus on how evidence-based legal and policy approaches can advance health equity and create lasting changes that help every American live a long, healthy life. Program Director Kimberly Libman of ChangeLab Solutions, a nonprofit organization focused on building healthier communities through equitable laws and policies, will provide an overview of A Blueprint for Changemakers: Achieving Health Equity Through Law & Policy. This resource takes a comprehensive look at legal and policy strategies that can address the fundamental drivers of health inequities—and engage diverse communities and partners in the policymaking process. Attendees will also hear from a community that has successfully used law and policy to move the needle on health equity and address pressing public health challenges. About the Law and Health Policy Project
The goal of the Healthy People Law and Health Policy project is to highlight how evidence-based legal and policy interventions and strategies can facilitate progress toward Healthy People objectives by improving community health and well-being. In addition to reports and webinars, the project includes “Bright Spots,” or success stories, that highlight successful policy interventions that have led to improved health outcomes.
The project is a collaboration between the HHS Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the CDC Foundation, and the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
