Alabama’s Advocacy Subcommittee recently voted on the 2013 Public Policy Priorities. They voted, among other things:
- to continue advocacy efforts for strong local smokefree policies;
- to promote shared use of school property as a way to combat childhood obesity; and
- to require all Alabama hospitals to perform pulse oximetry screening to detect heart defects in newborns.
