Resources for Creating Healthy Communities

HEAL links communities to strategies, tools and resources for creating healthy environments that help individuals and families make good choices where they live, learn work and play.

Healthy Communities and Healthy People

The environments where people live, learn, work and play profoundly impacts their health and quality of life. Healthy communities provide people with convenient, affordable and safe access to opportunities for healthy eating and active living. New Hampshire's healthiest communities have active community partnerships and strong social support systems to promote access to resources for healthy living.

New report just released: The New Hampshire Third Grade Healthy Smiles - Healthy Growth Survey

This survey was conducted between September 2008 and June 2009. The goal was to collect uniform information on the oral health and height/weight status of third grade students.

Statistics and graphs are available as PowerPoint slides.

VISION: HEAL envisions healthier community environments throughout New Hampshire where all residents improve health and quality of life through healthy eating and active living.
