About NHLBI's HP 2010 Gateway
Issued in January 2000, Healthy People 2010 is the Federal
Government's blueprint for building a healthier Nation over the next 10 years.
It is designed to achieve two major overarching goals-to increase the quality
and years of Americans' healthy life and to end racial and ethnic disparities
in the burden of disease. The plan contains 467 objectives that are organized
into 28 focus areas. Visit the main Healthy People 2010 Website for a full
description of the focus areas and objectives.
The NHLBI Healthy People 2010 Gateway was developed to help
achieve these goals and objectives. The Gateway provides quick, easy access to
Institute information and resources on four key areas: cardiovascular health,
asthma, sleep, and minority populations.
Each area has its own portal, which outlines the Institute's
efforts to meet the Healthy People 2010 goals and objectives. These include
activities and materials from the Institute's national education programs and
initiatives.
The portals offer a wealth of resources to help health
professionals plan their own Healthy People activities. For instance, the
portals have public and professional education materials, notices of upcoming
meetings, conferences, and exhibits, and opportunities for health professionals
to do long-distance learning--and get continuing education credits.
The Gateway also lets you shop online in the NHLBI materials
catalog--fill your shopping basket, or print or download many of the items for
free.
Additionally, the Gateway has quick links to popular NHLBI
Web-based applications on asthma, sleep, cholesterol, and high blood pressure,
as well as to the Federal Government's Healthy People 2010 Web site.
Finally, the Gateway lets you sign on as an NHLBI partner in
health by joining the Institute's Health Information Network (HIN). As a
partner, you'll receive updates about new NHLBI programs, research findings,
resources, and upcoming events. You'll also be able to share your experiences
in health promotion and disease prevention with other HIN partners.
NHLBI hopes you will find this electronic Gateway to be a
useful service. We plan to continually add to the Gateway's offerings and
welcome your feedback and suggestions on its contents.
