Every decade since 1980, the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) has set ambitious, measurable goals to make progress across public health—from improving quality health care access to reducing tobacco use. This decade’s iteration, Healthy People 2030, is taking on 358 objectives and focusing on health equity and literacy, as well as social determinants of health. We talk with HHS’s Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) Director RDML Paul Reed to dive into how we’re making progress on Healthy People 2030 and the importance of developing systems that promote our wellbeing.
RDML Paul Reed advises the Assistant Secretary for Health on disease prevention and health promotion programs and policies. He also oversees Healthy People 2030, the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans, and the President’s Council on Sports, Fitness & Nutrition
