The objective of Healthy People 2030 is to “attain high-quality, longer lives free of preventable disease, disability, injury, and premature death.” The initiative identifies 327 objectives in 26 focus areas, each of which is aligned with one of the five domains. The objectives are measurable and time-bound, and they are designed to be used by individuals, organizations, and communities to improve health and well-being.

Here are two of the overarching goals of Healthy People 2030:

• Eliminate health disparities. This goal aims to reduce or eliminate the differences in health status and health outcomes between different population groups. Health disparities are caused by a variety of factors, including race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and geographic location.
• Achieve health equity. This goal goes a step further than eliminating health disparities by striving to create a society where everyone has the opportunity to achieve good health. Health equity requires addressing the root causes of health disparities, such as poverty, racism, and discrimination.

The impact of these overarching goals on health, well-being, and quality of life is significant. By eliminating health disparities and achieving health equity, we can create a society where everyone has the opportunity to live long, healthy, and productive lives.

Here are some specific examples of how these goals can be achieved:

• Eliminating health disparities could be achieved by expanding access to health care, improving education and employment opportunities, and reducing poverty.
• Achieving health equity could be achieved by addressing the root causes of health disparities, such as racism, discrimination, and lack of affordable housing.

These are just a few examples of how the overarching goals of Healthy People 2030 can be achieved. By working together, we can create a healthier and more equitable society for everyone.
