Abstract:
This speech was presented on Koop's behalf by Deputy U.S. Surgeon General Faye G. Abdellah at the Dedication of the Headquarters of the Community Health Association. In it Koop assessed the role both of the Public Health Service and of the nearly 100-year old Community Health Association in addressing emerging health care challenges produced by demographic change and the aging of the American population, namely, the prevention of heart disease, stroke, cancer, and other diseases more prevalent among older people; smoking cessation; and ensuring proper exercise and nutrition.
