Commonalities of State-Level HiAP Groups
July 30, 2024 | Kerry Wyss
States and localities are developing cross-sector or health in all policies (HiAP) working groups to address the drivers of health from both within and outside of public health and healthcare. These groups bring together decision-makers from different sectors to explore policies and programs that aim to improve public health and address health inequities. These partners can include government agencies, community-based organizations, educational institutions, businesses, and other stakeholders. This document outlines some of the components, partners, and roles/responsibilities of many of these groups, so they can be replicated across the nation to tackle complex public health challenges at the state and local level.
