Beyond Medical Care: How Health Systems Can Address Children’s Needs Through Health Promotion Strategies

Debbie I. Chang, Linda Bultman, Vonna L. Drayton, Erin K. Knight, Karyl T. Rattay and Marihelen Barrett

This paper describes an innovative approach that integrates community-based health promotion and disease prevention into a well-established pediatric medical care system. System components include a population-level focus in multiple service sectors, community coalitions, knowledge dissemination, and social marketing. The combination of these components is intended to bring about widespread changes in health/social policy and professional practice, which, in turn, should improve health behavior and outcomes. Early lessons are discussed.
