Kathleen Sebelius was awesome!!! We learned she was the second female governor of Kansas from 2003-2009, and in 2010 was also ranked by Forbes as the 23rd most powerful woman in the world! She is very charismatic.
ReplyDeleteTodd Park was incredibly inspirational! He introduced innovative digital apps, features, and tech devices that are efficiently delivering health care data and services to the American people. Check out the cool apps and sites he mentioned: bluebuttondata.org, the itriage app, "datapalooza" competitions. "code-a-thons", food oasis, etc. He had tons of energy, enthusiasm, and hope for the field of health promotion!
ReplyDeleteIt was exciting to meet Dr. Prochaska who created the TTM! Listening to Dr. Karen Lee, NYC DOH, speak was another highlight from SOPHE for me! I referenced the NYC Active Design Guidelines frequently during my internship this summer while working on the initial components for the Livable Communities project for the Health Trust/Aging Services Collaborative.
ReplyDeleteDitto Danielle! I was particularly impressed with what Todd Park referred to as the HHS's move toward "data liberation" - that HHS has all this data on health utilization and outcomes that they are making available to the public in highly accessible formats. Check it out at www.healthindicators.gov.
