Survey Opportunity: National Prevention & Health Promotion Strategy

  • Event
  • Monday, January 10, 2011 - Friday, January 14, 2011
Details:
A "National Prevention and Health Promotion Strategy" is being developed as part of the Affordable Care Act. The goal is to shift the nation from a focus on sickness and disease to one based on wellness and prevention. The National Prevention Council is inviting comments on the draft of the National Prevention Strategy. This represents an excellent opportunity for our voices to be heard and our ideals of integrative cancer care to be incorporated in the final National Prevention Strategy, which is to be released later this year.

We urge everyone who feels strongly about an integrative approach to health and wellness to take this opportunity to review the draft Strategy and make your comments at http://www.hhs.gov/news/reports/nphps.html. The comment period ends this Thursday, January 13, 2011.

Washington State Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics

Welcome to the 2026-2027 membership year! As we look ahead, my focus is on strengthening the organizational structure of our Academy, supporting modernization and innovation within the field of dietetics, and fostering a strong, connected community of nutrition professionals across Washington.

This year, we hope to create more opportunities for collaboration, professional engagement, and meaningful connections at both the state and district levels. As our profession continues to evolve locally and nationally, we remain committed to supporting our members through education, advocacy, and community.

Please stay connected through our website, social media, and monthly e-blasts for updates, events, and opportunities to get involved. I am honored to serve in this role and look forward to working alongside all of you this year.
