Local groups are being asked to focus on addressing two or three health priorities to meet the needs of their particular community. These priorities are as follows:
More details about the Prevention Agenda toward the Healthiest State, including detailed information on the priorities and the roles of local health authorities and departments, hospitals, and community partners, are available on the NYS Department of Health’s website. Tracking Public Health Priorities Selected Indicators for Tracking Public Health Priority Areas, along with measurable Prevention Agenda 2013 objectives, provide information to plan prevention programs, develop new policies, and measure our progress. Tables are available at the New York State and county level. The Prevention Agenda aims to reduce or eliminate racial, ethnic and socioeconomic health disparities where they exist. Information about health disparities is included in the New York State table.
