by Health Patio

Health Patio is pleased to report on the the 2007 National Prevention and Health Promotion Summit: Creating a Culture of Wellness.

Tuesday, November 27–Thursday, November 29, 2007
Hyatt Regency Capitol Hill
Washington D.C.

Exploring innovations in science and policy that support engaging in regular physical activity, eating a healthy diet, taking advantage of appropriate medical screenings, making healthy choices to avoid risky behaviors, and other healthy practices.

The main supporting agency, The Coordinating Center for Health Promotion (CoCHP), was created to bring us into the twenty-first century ways of knowing about health. Realization of the need to reduce the environmental and lifestyle causes of ill health, as well as emerging infectious diseases, terrorism, environmental threats (hurricanes, wildfires, toxic chemical spills) and an aging population make this health summit literally vital.
