Why Does the CityFocus on CreatingNew PoliciesNot Just New Programs?

What is the Difference?
PROGRAMS/EVENTS
• Short term• Generally has beginning
and end of intervention• Distinct target audience• Reliant on funding or
other support for replication
• Doesn’t impact environment
• Lessons learned can inform policy
POLICY OR ENVIRONMENT
• Institutionalized• Equitable reach• Sustained beyond
individual champion or specific funding
• Ongoing without start and stop times
• May still need programmatic elements to achieve desired impact
Engaging in the policy change process, medical professionals can expand the reach, breadth, and sustainability of their clinical practice = IMPACT

Put your thumbprint on policy!
How can you maximize the Impact you will have on society?
![Page 40: Healthy Chicago Destination Talks](https://reader034.vdocuments.net/reader034/viewer/2022051609/54692d6caf79596a1b8b6854/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
Why should you get involved?
• Primary prevention part of mission?• Health care professionals have a natural incentive to
improve the health of all people and the environment in which we live.
• Position to influence behavior?• It is essential to lead by example.• People trust doctors with their lives – literally. • People look to their doctors for health information.• Time and time again, political polling demonstrates that
doctors are among the MOST RESPECTED sources of health information, which puts you in a unique position to influence public policy.
• Healthcare system will bear burden of chronic disease.

Not feeling sophisticated enough to play at the State and Federal level?Work toward institutional policy
changes!
Little p: Institutional policies– Worksite policies/investments– NGO policies– Individual school policies– Norms and standards that drive other action
BIG P: Public policy– Legislation– Regulations– Zoning/land use– Taxes– Public budgets
