Healthy Lifestyles

The Healthy Lifestyles Section programs focus on health promotion activities that help people stay healthy as long as possible through individual behavior change interventions as well as organizational change and policy development strategies. Individuals are encouraged to make and maintain healthy behavior changes to reduce their risk of chronic disease by eating nutritious foods, being physically active, and reducing their exposure to tobacco products. At the same time, Healthy Lifestyle staff work with organizations on providing environments that promote and encourage healthy behaviors through policy development.
