Feedback:
The Healthy People 2020 campaign provides an overall action plan to improve the health and quality of life for people living the United States. The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services identified the four overarching health goals: Attain high quality, longer lives free of preventable disease, disability, injury, and premature death. Achieve health equity, eliminate disparities, and improve the health of all groups. Create social and physical environments that promote good health for all. Promote quality of life, healthy development, and healthy behaviors across all life stages. Health People 2020 is not focused on an individual disease process, a "normal" weight, or exercise for the individual as the overall goal.
