Business is critical to building healthy communities. This July 2014 workshop held at the New York Academy of Medicine explored business engagement in improving population health beyond the important work in worksite wellness and health promotion. Speakers included representatives of businesses (e.g., Dow, IBM, and business coalitions on health) who have been active in efforts to improve the health of their communities. The workshop focused on the case for business engagement, what businesses can do, strategies for implementation, and how to partner with other community-based stakeholders.
