Kathleen and the US Surgeon General Dr. Regina Benjamin
On December 8th the first regional meeting of the National Prevention Strategy was held in Chicago. American Heart Association volunteers, Drs. Andy Rauh and Lynne Braun, along with select staff members had the opportunity to learn more about the Advisory Group on Prevention, Health Promotion and Integrative and Public Health. The Advisory Group was required by the Affordable Care Act and individuals were appointed by the President. The Advisory Group’s role includes the following:
- Develop policy and program recommendations
- Advise the National Prevention Council on lifestyle-based chronic disease prevention and management, integrative health care practices and health promotion.
