Healthy People 2000 Promoting Health/Preventing Disease: Year 2000 Objectives for the Nation, PHS, DHHS, September 1990

Abstract

HEALTHY PEOPLE 2000 is a national initiative aimed at improving the health of all Americans through a coordinated and comprehensive emphasis on prevention. The cornerstone of this effort is a set of national health promotion and disease prevention objectives for the year 2000. The report is a product of an unprecedented cooperative effort among government, voluntary and professional organizations, business, and individuals, and is coordinated by the U.S. Public Health Service. HEALTHY PEOPLE 2000 sets three broad health goals for the 1990s: (1) an increased healthy life-span for all Americans; (2) a reduction in health disparity among Americans; and (3) access to preventive services for all Americans.
