Health Education and Health Promotion..

The VtPHA believes that our systems of health education and health promotion needs to be strengthened to improve the health of all Vermonters. This will provide:

• An increase in health promotion activities in Vermont
• An increase in the capacity to integrate health promotion strategies into the public health delivery system
• A forum for public health educators and those involved in health promotion activities to discuss ideas and evidence-based practices for strengthening systems of health education and health promotion
