Description

The book addresses cutting health care costs, prevention of premature onset of disease and disability, and helping Americans achieve healthier, more productive lives. The Healthy People 2000 Consortium, facilitated by the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences, convened 8 regional hearings and received testimony from over 750 individuals and organizations. This testimony became the primary resource material in crafting the health objectives. The contents include age groups and special populations in the nation's health, goals for the nation, priorities for health promotion and disease prevention, and shared responsibilities.
