Healthy Neighborhoods

Aloha ‘Ohana!

Today is the second day of National Public Health Week and our focus is on Health Neighborhoods.

We know that where we live – where we eat, sleep, work, play, learn and pray – can have a huge effect on our health. But what makes a neighborhood healthy? Having safe places to live, without hazards or pollution. Having safe ways for everyone to be active, like sidewalks, and safe places to bike. Having easy access to fresh, affordable, nutritious and culturally appropriate food. When our neighborhoods are healthy, we have the building blocks for healthy lives.

Together lets do everything we can to help make our neighborhoods healthy!
