Date:10/6/2009

. Therefore, the Consumer Alliance is a strategy whereby AAFP aims to partner with companies who demonstrate good corporate stewardship and a strategic focus on consumer health.

FamilyDoctor.org, AAFP's consumer health and wellness resource, is the fundamental core of the AAFP Consumer Alliance. Through partnerships in the Consumer Alliance, AAFP will continue to expand the reach and breadth of its offerings on FamilyDoctor.org by adding more tools, trackers, videos, and consumer-friendly education materials on important health and wellness topics.

In addition to content development on FamilyDoctor.org, AAFP will work with Consumer Alliance Partners to develop robust new programs and materials to educate consumers and medical professionals about making better choices with regard to food and beverage selections, physical activity, emotional well-being, and other ways to achieve a balanced and healthy lifestyle.
