Explain why health promotion, community health, and prevention are important

This time, in your initial post, you will explain why health promotion, community health, and prevention are important. You should also answer the following questions: How do national organizations like the CDC influence and support policymaking, and what is their role in health promotion? How is the CDC currently addressing the Millennium Development Goals (MDG)? How do organizations like the CDC and the WHO work together to influence health and healthcare delivery?

For the second part of this discussion, look into the MDG that has been assigned to you. What are the targets and indicators linked to the MDG assigned to you? What progress has been made toward the attainment of the MDG assigned to you? Identify policy that supports movement toward the MDG.
