A Coordinated Response
The release of the first Cardiovascular Disease Prevention State Plan for Idaho on July 1, 2009, is the first step to significantly reducing heart diseases and stroke mortality and morbidity. This state plan was developed under the leadership of the Idaho Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Advisory Committee (IHDSPAC) and the Idaho Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Program. 

The state plan goals and objectives are more than any one agency or organization can accomplish on their own.  Only through combined efforts to improve the health of Idahoans can the objectives be accomplished.  Idaho needs healthcare organizations, insurers, business and community leaders, healthcare and public health leaders, state and local policy makers to partner together to achieve the objectives of the state plan.

If you are interested in joining this effort, please contact the Idaho Heart Disease and Stroke Prevention Program at 208-334-5966 or by email bceh@dhw.idaho.gov.
