UCPA Public Health Initiative
Public Health is the responsibility of everyone. The Utah Chiropractic Physican’s Association takes it’s responsibility to public health seriously. On March 17th 2009 the UCPA board voted to launch an ongoing public health initiative. The goals of this initiative are:
- Decrease health care costs long term by creating awareness and providing individuals with the tools that they need to prevent illness and improve health
- Encourage personal responsibility through education. The choices individuals make do effect the whole community
- Improve legislative and public support for state and local public health programs that prevent and track diseases, help people quit smoking, improve fitness and much more
- Have chiropractors become community resources to implement public health and safety programs that work for our local communities
- Address the social issues that contribute to poor public health
This web page will become a source for Public Health information in Utah. We will have presentation ideas for doctors, resources for the public, and story ideas for the media. Please check back often, as we plan to updated it as often as possible. If you come across an idea that you think we should add please let us know in the comments.
