PROGRAMS AND SERVICES

Healthy Communities

New in 2012... We have merged three of our Health Promotions division programs – Injury Prevention, Physical Activty & Nutrition, and Tobacco – into one program, Heathy Communities. This new team approach will allow us to share resources, expand individual knowledge, and work together with our community partners. We will be continuing much of our great work from last year and look forward to many great successes in the coming year!

The program is staffed by a program manager, six health program specialists, and administrative support. To learn more about our many projects and efforts or to get involved, call 509-324-1530.
