Health Promotion evolved from the larger field of public health and is considered a core strategy in public health work. Rather than focusing on modifying individual behavior, Health Promotion seeks to address a wide range of social and environmental factors. In partnership, Health Promotion works to build public policies, create supportive environments, and strengthen community action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Health Promotion collaboratively works with partners through committees and community building to change policy, build systems, and remove barriers for health and well-being. We also offer a series of workshops and developmental opportunities. Learn more about our offerings and how to get involved below! <\/p>\n\n\n
