The most well-known public health program is Healthy People 2020, which is an initiative to increase the health and wellness of Americans. It has a ten-year agenda with a framework of goals and objectives to be met in 2020. Other organizations have also adopted some of the philosophy of this initiative, and they have established programs that are relevant for their target population to increase health and wellness for their population. The framework is unique and it has become the development framework for states.
