What is HEAL?

HEAL is a collaborative effort of philanthropic organizations, state agencies, and community partnerships concerned about the rising obesity epidemic and its consequences.

HEAL aims to foster implementation of healthy eating and active living interventions through a statewide infrastructure at the local community level across five sectors - schools, worksites, health care settings, food outlets, and cities/towns. The focus is on interventions that affect policy and environmental changes that result in a demonstrable impact on health and quality of life of New Hampshire residents.
