The goal of achieving better health has ignited a call to action across the country, from promoting healthy behaviors to creating environments that make it easier to exercise and access healthy foods.

State and local health agencies, working together with non-traditional partners, have an opportunity to strengthen prevention efforts by incorporating health in policymaking and creating conditions for health in their communities.

Marking the first anniversary of the National Prevention Strategy, this webinar will discuss the work of the National Prevention Council, and showcase multi-sector collaboration at the state and local levels, where private and public partnerships drive and reinforce options for improving health outcomes.

Following the webinar, participants will be equipped to:

• Discuss several ways the National Prevention Strategy aids communities in maximizing the effectiveness of prevention efforts

• Share resources and tools for implementing the National Prevention Strategy at the state and local levels
