BUILDING ON & ENGAGING PARTNERSHIPS
WHY SHOULD YOU GET INVOLVEDPrimary Prevention
• Health care professionals have a natural incentive to improve the health of all people and the environment in which we live.
Position to Influence Behavior• Lead by Example
• People Trust Doctors with their Lives
• People look to their Doctors for Health Information
• Political Polling Demonstrates that Doctors are among the MOST RESPECTED sources of Health Information, which puts you in a Unique Position to Influence Public Policy.
• Healthcare System will Bear Burden of Chronic Disease.
ADVOCATE FOR BETTER PUBLIC AND INSTITUTIONAL POLICIESBIG P: Public Policy
• Legislation• Regulations• Zoning/Land Use• Taxes• Public Budgets
Little p: Institutional policy• Worksite policies/investments• NGO policies• Individual school policies• Norms and standards that drive other
action
• Test new policies that improve the food and beverage environment in hospitals and other workplaces.
• Test pricing and promotion strategies to encourage healthier eating and drinking in your hospitals and workplaces.
• Contribute to the evidence base by evaluating the impact of these policy changes.
• Ask if there is an open seat on the CPS School Wellness Committee for the school in your neighborhood.
