Place-based healthy living strategies

Healthy behaviors start at home but are heavily influenced by the opportunities available in the places we live, learn, work, and play.

Partnering with trusted organizations, agencies and worksites to create healthier environments

 

The Healthy Living team partners with institutions and communities to improve opportunities for everyone to eat healthy, be active, and live tobacco-free as part of their daily life. 

Schools, childcare, worksites, neighborhoods and communities play an important role in creating access to healthy eating, physical activity, and tobacco-free living opportunities for those they employ and serve. Partnering with schools, worksites, clinics and communities is fundamental to implement a variety of coordinated healthy living strategies within each unique setting.
