Healthy People

The Healthy People Initiative is a government-run program that was developed to help individuals, organizations, and communities committed to improving health and well-being address public health priorities.

For the past 50 years, Health People creates a 10-year plan to address our most critical public health priorities and challenges in the United States. In 1980, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) released the first set of Healthy People 10-year objectives. Healthy People 2030 is the fifth iteration of the Healthy People initiative, which is the current set of goals to promote well-being and address challenges to improve the health of all Americans. Healthy People 2030 includes hundreds of measurable objectives with ambitious but achievable national targets with a variety of resources that can be used to help achieve these targets.

For this assignment, you will evaluate Healthy People 2030 goals and summarize one guideline for health screenings that can be recommended by the health care provider. Discuss the objective that you are assigned and explain why it is important, what are the current screening recommendations, and what is the current objective status. Include pertinent facts and statistics related to morbidity and morality. Reference and citations are required.
