'''Healthy People 2030''' ('''HP2030''') is a decade-long initiative led by the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP) within the Department of Health and Human Services, launched to establish measurable national health objectives with a strong emphasis on reducing health disparities. Healthy People 2030 sets national objectives to improve health and well-being, with a core focus on eliminating health disparities across diverse population groups, aiming to achieve health equity by addressing social determinants of health and tracking disparities data to guide interventions over the next decade. Notable aspects include its 355 core objectives, 23 Leading Health Indicators (LHIs), and dynamic disparities data tools launched in 2020, tracking progress across demographics like race, ethnicity, and socioeconomic status, with over 150 objectives explicitly tied to social determinants as of 2025.

==Goals==
* Eliminate health disparities by setting targets to reduce inequities in health outcomes, behaviors, and risks across population groups.
* Achieve health equity through evidence-based interventions, aiming for all people to reach their highest health potential by 2030.
* Monitor and reduce disparities using data tools, targeting priority populations identified via race/ethnicity, income, and education metrics.

==Organization==
Healthy People 2030 is administered by the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion (ODPHP), with data support from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS) under the CDC, both within HHS. ODPHP oversees objective development with input from a Federal Interagency Workgroup and the Secretary’s Advisory Committee, while funding is allocated through HHS appropriations, supporting staff, data systems, and outreach. The program’s leader is the Assistant Secretary for Health, currently Admiral Rachel Levine as of 2025, guiding its strategic direction.

==History==
Healthy People 2030 was launched on August 18, 2020, evolving from four prior decades starting with the 1979 Surgeon General’s report, authorized under the Public Health Service Act, which empowers HHS to promote health. Building on Healthy People 2020’s disparities focus, it introduced refined objectives post-COVID-19, emphasizing social determinants and equity after disparities in infection rates highlighted inequities. Milestones include the 2024 LHI infographics release and ongoing disparities data enhancements, with plans to expand SDOH tracking through 2030.

==Funding==
Initial funding, unspecified but part of ODPHP’s budget within HHS appropriations, supported its 2020 launch, with ongoing annual funding in the millions sustaining data tools, webinars, and staff as of 2025. Funding has no end date, tied to HHS’s public health mission, with additional resources proposed in FY 2025 budgets to bolster equity-focused interventions.

==Implementation==
Healthy People 2030 is implemented through a framework of 355 core objectives, launched in 2020, tracked via data tools displaying disparities by demographic groups, updated periodically by NCHS. It employs evidence-based strategies, LHIs, and SDOH objectives, rolled out via partnerships with states, communities, and organizations, with no fixed end date, aiming for completion by 2030 but designed to inform future iterations.
