G.E.A.R. is an opportunity for chronic disease and health promotion directors and their staff to apply for leadership development, mentoring, and learning. Participants will engage in peer- to-peer learning and sharing opportunities
to examine innovative models that align population health improvement with state health department chronic disease prevention and health promotion efforts. Participants

of population health by examining de nitions and examples, within and outside of the health care sector, that address the social, cultural, economic, and environmental determinants of health.
