―achieving health for all‖ in this report identifies three health challenges: reducing inequities, incr
easing prevention, and enhancing coping. The three health-

Healthy People 2020 is a US-

life measurement tool used by health care workers. The
Population Health Promotion Model was developed to provide an overall framework to guide heal
th promotion by blending both health promotion and population health concepts.
