The overall goal of Healthy People 2020 is to "promote health for all through a healthy environment." The document does provide guidance for nurses to identify targets for health (not instructions for individuals). The six areas that are focused on include outdoor air quality, surface, and groundwater quality, toxic substances and hazardous wastes, homes, and communities, infrastructure and surveillance, and global environmental health. The agency that prepared this initiative is the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
