Healthcare

The NPAP Healthcare Sector focuses on physical activity promotion through clinicians, insurance, and healthcare systems. While the average US American adult sees a primary care provider 2.8 times per year, patients report receiving physical activity counseling in only 32% of visits. The sector aims for healthcare systems, healthcare providers in practice, and learners, to recognize, embrace, and adopt physical activity promotion as a key strategy to improve population health and reduce the overall financial burden of healthcare.
