  PHABC & Partners Present a Regional Conference in Partnership With PAHO
  Health in All Policies: Taking Intersectoral Action for Equitable & Sustainable Health
  November 4-5, 2013

  Emerging Public Health Priorities
  Ministry of Health half-day Session

  Hilton Vancouver Metrotown
  6083 McKay Avenue Burnaby, BC

  The Public Health Association of British Columbia is hosting a Regional Conference in partnership with PAHO, with a theme focused on the international approach of Health in all Policies. This approach is a contemporary development of the ‘Building Healthy Public Policy’ action area of the Ottawa Charter for Health Promotion.

  The key foundation for this work is the insight, developed by health promotion and population health, that most of the activities that contribute to the health of societies and communities are generated outside of the health care system itself. Taking action on this insight requires developing a broad, integrated, intersectoral approach to human development in order to achieve equitable and sustainable health for all people. This means that public health must work across government sectors at all levels with coherent, coordinated health promotion strategies. It also means moving beyond government, recognizing that policies and practices in the non-governmental/voluntary and private sectors are equally important to health.

  We will be accepting abstract submissions for the conference until September 20, 2013.

  This intersectoral conference will be followed by a half-day session on Wednesday November 6th, 2013 from the Ministry of Health focusing on Emerging Public Health Priorities. The MOH invites you to attend and participate in advising the 2014 Public Health priorities in BC.
