Health reform, and what it means for public health, is at the top of mind for many public health professionals. This session will discuss public health's approach to expanding the important and cost-effective work around prevention and expanding the role of public health in important health decisions. If public health acts strategically, health 
reform provides the opportunity to remake the public health system. This session will also address the increased responsibility that comes with raised expectations about the capacity of the public health system and its ability to lower costs and deliver improved health outcomes.
