WINTER 2005, ISSUE 25
An Ounce of Prevention is Worth a Pound of Cure: Making the Case for Choosing Health Promotion
‘Your team has done an excellent job in raising many of the most important challenges we face in health promotion …how to advocate effectively, what evidence to use, and what stakeholders want and need, as well as reminding us there are many examples of success that we need to draw on.’
– Michele Herriot, A/Director, Health Promotion Branch, Department of Health, SA
‘The series on prevention was excellent, and very relevant to our current Commission of Inquiry where the recent increase in investment in prevention versus acute care is being questioned.’
– Leisa Elder, Executive Director Public Affairs, Queensland Health
‘The last edition of the VicHealth Letter is a great read – simple but powerful, with helpful quotes that will serve as persuasive reminders. I will be using the magazine in my quest to continue reorienting those around me – government and non-government … I feel energised by this edition.’
– Kaye Graves, Manager Healthy Communities, Bendigo Community Health Services
‘Congratulations on producing such an excellent and thought-provoking newsletter in health promotion.’
– Veronica Graham, State Public Health Nutritionist, Department of Human Services, Melbourne
‘I’ve sent this issue to our network of health promotion coordinators throughout rural South Australia … the facts on each page are a great way of reinforcing key points for advocacy. The view from the economist is the clearest explanation that I've read on why health promotion is an essential investment for a healthy society.’
– Cynthia Spurr, Chief Project Officer, Country Health Promotion, Department of Health, Adelaide
