1. Who created Healthy people 2010
1) "The Healthy People initiative was started in 1979 in the United States Department of Health and
Human Services (HHS) by Dr. Julius Richmond, who was the Surgeon General and Assistant
Secretary for Health. He released a Surgeon General's Report called Healthy People, which laid the
groundwork for Healthy People 1990. It was followed by the second decade-long Healthy People
plan, Healthy People 2000: National Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Objectives. Healthy
People 2010 is the third set of national health objectives. It was released on January 25, 2000, under
the leadership of HHS Secretary Donna Shalala and the Assistant Secretary for Health and Surgeon
General, David Satcher."

2010, and Healthy People 2020.
Healthy People 2010, started in January 2000 by the United States Department of Health and
