The prevention Agenda 2012-17 is the blueprint for state and local action to improve the health of New Yorkers in five priority areas and to reduce health disparities.
The New York State Department of Health (NYS DOH) is developing a series of topic- specific webinars and in-person regional training opportunities on chronic disease prevention. The trainings will ensure that local and public health partners have the knowledge, tools and resources needed to implement evidence- based strategies that address chronic disease, align with the prevention agenda 2013-17, and are consistent with NYSDOH priorities. The schedule for the webinars is listed below:
Please note registrations for the webinars must be completed by September 10th 2013!
