Policy Committee

Strategic Goal:

Advocate for policy systems or environmental changes with a Physical Activity, Nutrition, and Obesity Prevention (PANO) focus that increase equitable access to health programs and services to increase access and reduce health disparities.

Potential Actions

  1. Identify and pursue policy and legislature changes across the state that remove barriers to health equity. (i.e., Mental health/trauma, public safety, environmental disparities, food desserts/food swamp, etc.)
  2. Expand Medicaid to offer more prenatal care and expand to underserved populations (i.e., children in Western Sussex County, immigrants, youth, etc.).

Upcoming Meetings

Meetings are held on the first Monday of the month from 10:00 a.m. to 11:00 a.m.
