HRSA Encourages Grantees and Their Constituents to Provide Comments on
Healthy People 2020

HEALTHY PEOPLE 2020 OBJECTIVE DEVELOPMENT PRELIMINARY COMMENT PERIOD: In
preparation for the process of creating an initial set of draft
objectives for Healthy People 2020, the Office of Disease Prevention and
Health Promotion (ODPHP) is seeking preliminary comments on existing
Healthy People 2010 objectives (see
www.healthypeople.gov/data/midcourse/html/default.htm#focusareas). As
they create the draft objectives for Healthy People 2020, they will
consider comments made through the
www.healthypeople.gov/hp2020/comments/ Web site. Such comments should be
received by April 24, 2009. This is a preliminary input period that will
help inform the development of a set of draft Healthy People 2020
objectives. They are using the existing Healthy People 2010 objectives
as a starting point to develop the Healthy People 2020 objectives. A
more extensive public comment period on the draft Healthy People 2020
objectives will be conducted through the www.healthypeople.gov Web site
at a future date.

2009 PUBLIC COMMENT MEETINGS: ODPHP plans to convene three public
meetings across the country in late summer early fall to garner
additional stakeholder input on the draft Healthy People 2020
objectives. Details on the meetings will be posted on the
www.healthypeople.gov Web site as they become available.

We invite you to give your comments and suggestions as part of the
collaborative process of building Healthy People 2020.
