APA’s widely successful Plan4Health program will continue to promote planning for healthy communities and chronic disease prevention in 2017 with Planners4Health. By bridging APA chapters and divisions, Planners4Health offers a new approach to advancing practice at the intersection of public health and planning.
Participating APA chapters will create cross disciplinary task forces to further develop policies, partnerships, and place-based programs connecting health and planning in states and regions. The program serves both as an opportunity to disseminate lessons learned from previous Plan4Health work, and a chance to sustain the health agenda within APA.
