Description:The mission, influence and reach of hospitals make them natural leaders for worksite wellness and community-wide health promotion. As major employers and flagship health organizations within communities, hospitals can influence community norms by adopting model policies and practices that promote the health of employees and patrons of their own organization. In August 2010, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention/Division of Nutrition, Physical Activity and Obesity convened an expert panel on policy and environmental approaches to improve food, physical activity, breastfeeding and tobacco-free environments in hospitals. The panel was tasked with identifying strategies to improve these environments for employees, patients and visitors and recommending how to incorporate these strategies into hospital community outreach efforts. This article summarizes the proceedings of the meeting and presents recommendations for action for hospitals and/or public health practitioners.
