Hi TRB Health and Transportation Subcommittee Friends,
I invite you to visit the Prevention
Forum<http://org2.democracyinaction.org/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=1rKrxRKJ…d7TLHF>,
in which Prevention Institute's Larry Cohen discusses the strength and opportunities
presented by the landmark National Prevention Strategy, released last week. The recent
release of the NPS is historic, says Cohen: "For the first time the nation has
delineated a broad, coherent approach to prevention, and made it clear that prevention is
critical for improving our health." The NPS was shaped by seventeen different
agencies, including the Department of Homeland Security, the Federal Trade commission and
the Department of Agriculture. Virtually every department in government is working
together to focus on how to achieve health and wellbeing for the people in every US
community.
