A unique panel discussion brings together leaders from across federal agencies and national organizations to explore the national state of health and how evidence-based lifestyle medicine, particularly physical activity, is being integrated into national strategies to address the widespread burden of chronic disease. These efforts include lifestyle medicine approaches within the Department of Defense, the Veterans Health Administration, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, and other anchor institutions. This discussion will help lifestyle medicine professionals understand the collaborative opportunities and complementary efforts related to integrating and scaling physical activity initiatives nationally.

Learning Objectives:

  • List federally-directed efforts to coordinate physical activity and lifestyle improvements.
  • Describe the importance of federal inter-agency collaboration related to policy integration for lifestyle medicine.
  • Identify emerging practices for scaling physical activity strategies in alignment with lifestyle medicine approaches.
