The 2012 National Health Promotion Summit will take place April 10-11, 2012 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, DC. Co-sponsored by the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) and the Association for Prevention Teaching and Research (APTR), this year's theme is "Prevention. Promotion. Progress." The conference is set to highlight the growing significance of health promotion, as illustrated through Healthy People 2020 and the Affordable Care Act. A conference agenda is now available online.
The Summit objectives are to:
- Promote the development of disease prevention and health promotion policies that align with national prevention initiatives;
- Encourage stakeholders at every level to collaborate on reaching national health goals; and
- Integrate health policies across all sectors.1
Public Health Foundation invites attendees to join us for the "Promoting Collaborative Prevention Training: A Learning Management Community Approach" presentation during the 10:45 AM (April 10) Speed Share session. This presentation will:
- Identify the importance of sharing competency-based disease prevention and health promotion trainings across jurisdictional lines
- Demonstrate TRAIN's role in expanding access to quality education through economies of scale
- Enhance awareness of web-based collaborative training models
The Speed Share sessions provide attendees with an opportunity to rotate across three different mini-presentations over a 75-minute span. Sessions will include time for a question and answer (Q&A) period.
