SALINA — The president of the New York Academy of Medicine and chairwoman of the New York State Public Health and Health Planning Council’s Public Health Committee visited Salina yesterday to discuss the state’s health-improvement plan.
Dr. Jo Ivey Boufford talked about the plan, titled “The Prevention Agenda 2013-17,” at the Holiday Inn Convention Center at 441 Electronics Parkway. The Public Health and Health Planning Council developed it along with local health departments, health-care providers, health plans, community-based organizations, advocacy groups, academia, employers, state agencies, schools, and businesses.
The plan is an attempt to show communities how to work together across the state to boost residents’ health and quality of life. It was also designed to be a guide to hospitals creating community plans required by the federal health-care reform law.
