On February 15, 2009, 9 members of the Population Health Forum met to energize around action steps toward continuing the mission and goals of the PHF. We heard about the history of the PHF and present day constitution of the group. After sharing our own unique pathways to and interests in understanding population health, we collectively came to concrete understandings of the issues behind the forum’s mission and goals.
As steps toward action, we brainstormed about potential audiences we hope to reach with our messages about population health and started to develop lists of allies we hope to connect with as we move forward in spreading the word about population health disparities. Finally, we outlined digital and non-digital mediums for which we hope utilize as we begin a new phase of outreach and growth for PHF. We will create a blog that can help intra-PHF communication and self-education. We hope that in the near future, the blog and other digital technologies can be employed PHF in unique ways to ‘spread the word’. We also began to develop an outreach plan for community events for awareness and action raising around issues of population health. We will report on our research and action items for new directions at the next PHF meeting, March 3rd, 2009.
Overall, the meeting successfully engaged new members of the forum behind the mission and goals of the organization. We are inspired, excited, hopeful and enthusiastic. We are ready to move forward.

While we are indebted to the many individual and collective purveyors of health and equality throughout the ages, today we recognize the beginning of a new chapter in the Population Health Movement.
A key component in building the Movement will be to share thoughts and ideas, arguments and apologies, comments and criticisms, articles and studies in an effort to not only build our knowledge and test our ability to reveal the unity of health, equality, and community to the world, but also to use these explorations to attract kindred spirits in a common cause.
This blog will serve as that crucible in which our plowshares will be molded and from whose sparks our allies will be guided. (Read full post)
