BACKGROUND
Background
In October 2016, the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH) issued a white paper titled “Public Health 3.0: A Call to Action to Create a 21st Century Public Health Infrastructure.”Public Health 3.0 is a major upgrade in public health practice to emphasize cross-sectorial environmental, policy, and systems-level actions. A challenge has been issued to business leaders, community leaders, state lawmakers, and federal policymakers to incorporate health into all areas of governance.
The Public Health 3.0 initiative is led by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of the Assistant Secretary for Health (OASH) and builds on the work of Healthy People 2020, which encourages collaboration across communities and sectors.
This white paper provides recommendations for advancing Public Health 3.0, and Guilford County Dept of Public Health will incorporate the recommendations into their Business Plan and restructuring.
