National Prevention Council Action Plan: Implementing the National Prevention Strategy

The National Prevention Council Action Plan builds from the vision, goal, recommendations, and actions of the landmark National Prevention Strategy, which aims to increase the number of Americans who are healthy at every stage of life. The National Prevention Council Action Plan is the next step in the federal implementation of the National Prevention Strategy, which serves as a comprehensive plan to tackle such issues as obesity, tobacco use, health disparities and chronic disease.

The National Prevention Council Action Plan includes for the first time, commitments from all of the 20 federal departments and agencies on the council to increase tobacco free environments and access to healthy, affordable foods and to identify additional opportunities to consider prevention and health by their agencies. Additionally, the Action Plan highlights more than 200 specific prevention and wellness actions that federal agencies are already taking or plan to take to implement the National Prevention Strategy.
