Proclamation

“National Interprofessional Health Care Month”

Whereas, quality health care is in the public’s interest for maintenance of

independence, productivity, happiness, overall welfare and well-being of society.

Whereas, quality health care is provided collaboratively by professionals of multiple

disciplines dependent upon the health needs of the public at large.

Whereas, primary health care begins with health promotion, wellness, and the

prevention of the very diseases and health problems that require treatment from

various healthcare professionals.

Whereas, the complexity and breadth of health promotion, illness prevention and

quality health care benefits from the diverse knowledge and skills of a range of health

care professionals.

Whereas, health care clinicians collaborating in an interprofessional team model of

service enhances not only coordination, but safe, effective and high quality health

care.

Therefore, the National Academies of Practice proclaim

the month of April as

“National Interprofessional Health Care Month.”
