Speaker:
Lloyd F. Novick, MD, MPH, Commissioner of Health, Onondaga County

Program Description:
Despite annual New Year's resolutions, weight-loss and regular physical activity continue to be goals that many Americans find hard to reach.

Join Dr. Lloyd Novick for a discussion on evidence-based approaches to physical activity promotion.

Objectives:
As a result of this program, participants will be able to:

• describe at least one evidence-based effort to promote physical activity.
