John P. McGovern Award
Lecture Series in Health Promotion
The John P. McGovern Award Lecture Series in Health Promotion was established in 1996 by Dr. McGovern to acknowledge the important role that health promotion programs play in public health to improve health and prevent disease. Dr. McGovern has had a long-standing involvement in programs that help individuals and communities to prevent lifestyle-related illnesses and cope with chronic disease and disabilities. His generous gift to The Centers for Health Promotion and Prevention Research provides an opportunity to recognize distinguished researchers who have made outstanding contributions to the development, implementation and evaluation of health promotion programs.
