Equitable Healthy Aging in Public Health Toolkit Report: A Guide for Community Health Improvement Practice
Age-Friendly Public Health Systems has published a toolkit titled "Equitable Healthy Aging in Public Health Toolkit Report - A Guide for Community Health Improvement Practice."
Equitable healthy aging means that everyone has a fair and just opportunity to optimize health and wellbeing at all life stages and abilities across the life course. The Equitable Healthy Aging in Public Health Toolkit Report aims to increase the capacity of public health departments to enhance equitable health and wellbeing of older adults and promote healthy aging across the life course in community health improvement practice. It provides equitable, healthy aging considerations aligned with Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP) 2.0 – the nationally-accredited planning and implementation model that guides community health improvement practice across the United States.
The resource was developed by the University of South Florida's College of Public Health and School of Aging Studies in consultation with the Trust for America's Health and the National Association of City and County Health Officials.
