Policy Priorities

We support Healthy Living policies that promote the components of healthy schools (physical education, healthy school meals, health education); and healthy communities (environmental essentials to promote physical activity and healthy food access, chronic disease self-management and parent education).

In the area of Health Coverage, we support policy efforts that improve and simplify procedures to enroll uninsured children and adults, remove barriers to enrollment for people who are eligible for public programs and promote adequate and affordable coverage for those who are insured.

In the area of Health Care we support efforts to increase and optimize the use of health information technology, improve delivery of services to vulnerable populations, expand the health professional workforce, and encourage integrated care and chronic care management.
