Appalachian Regional Commission's September 2011 Healthy Families: Healthy Future conference
A healthy population is the cornerstone of a strong economy, and good health begins in childhood. Addressing critical health challenges, particularly those affecting children, not only improves a community's quality of life but also helps build a healthy, stable workforce for the future.
The Appalachian Regional Commission's September 2011 Healthy Families: Healthy Future conference will bring together health experts and community leaders to examine key health issues and highlight successful health-care programs in Appalachia, with a special focus on children and families.
Concurrent session topics will include:
* Expanding health-care access for children
* Creating community-based approaches to disease prevention
* Preventing substance abuse among adolescents
* Supporting initiatives to lower rates of obesity and diabetes
* Improving children's oral health
* Using information technology to improve the quality of health care
* Promoting health-care workforce development initiatives
