Using Public Health Governance to Advance Health in All Policies and Environmental Public Health

The external and environmental influences on health have been long documented and addressing these health effects often requires work outside of traditional public health arenas. Health in All Policies (HiAP) looks to consider health impacts of policies in sectors outside of health and healthcare. Boards of health and other governing entities have a unique position to advance HiAP and cross-sector collaboration to improve health in their community. This presentation will give a brief overview of HiAP, discuss how HiAP can improve environmental public health, and detail how public health governing bodies and the public health governance functions can promote HiAP. It will also include examples of how HiAP has been implemented in local communities in the United States and give strategies for cross-sector collaboration.
