Group of people smiling at the cameraDeveloping positive health behaviors is not easy. In fact, many disagree on where the responsibility for change lies. There are many stakeholders in promoting positive health including health care providers, insurance industry leaders, health care delivery systems, schools, congressional bodies and patients.

Despite much public information about the impact of our behavior on our health, unhealthy behaviors are epidemic. While healthy behaviors can prevent disease, many unhealthy behaviors open the door to chronic health conditions. We can’t expect health care providers to make all of the necessary changes. The Center for Health Promotion has developed health behavior change models to help individuals, families, providers and communities improve their overall health.

Older couple making a saladThe Center for Health Promotion has partnered with community leaders to improve the health of their residents and with physicians to provide clinical systems serving the uninsured and underinsured. We’ve partnered with health maintenance organizations (HMOs), federally qualified health centers (FQHCs), nonprofit foundations and other large programs interested in promoting health behavior change. We have also partnered with the patients themselves by supporting them in assuming responsibility for their own positive health behaviors. We continue to look for these kinds of partnerships in order to help make sure that all Americans are as healthy as they can be.
