"Integrating Health Promotion into all Sectors of Society" Workplace health promotion programs have established a decades-long track record of improving health, moderating medical care cost increases, reducing absenteeism and enhancing morale. Continually rising medical costs and increasingly effective programming have stimulated historic growth in workplace based health promotion. This growth is likely to continue at least through the end of the decade, but the greatest growth opportunities for health promotion are probably outside the workplace and will be found in schools, clinics, hospitals, families, health clubs and other parts of the community. These sectors represent excellent growth opportunities from a business perspective, but the public health perspective is even more exciting. If we can integrate health promotion concepts into each of these sectors, we will come close to creating a living environment that envelops people in health promotion messages and helps each of us maintain long-term healthy lifestyles. This 2007 conference will explore how to best reach each of these sectors. Sessions will focus on financial analysis, integrating health promotion into society, advocacy and practice skills.
