Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) NH was launched in 2008 with the goal that all residents have access to healthy, affordable food, and safe places to play and be active. The Foundation for Healthy Communities has been honored to serve as the HEAL Home for these many years. The HEAL statewide network has made significant strides over the past decade to create healthier people and places throughout our state.
