Who we are

Explore how communities, health services, schools and workplace settings can create healthier choices for everyone and health outcomes that are fairer.

Community

Healthy communities have an astonishing ability to build on their strengths and focus on their priorities. They ensure everyone has fair access to healthy options they can afford. They also make it easier for people to work together and support each other.

Health Services

You probably think of health care as something you only need when you’re sick or injured. But your health care system is another important place for helping you get—and stay—as healthy as possible. It’s also a place that can promote the health of workers and the many visitors who pass through the doors.

Schools

Schools are a foundation for good health. Every day, they make a difference in the lives of kids and teens. Schools provide safe and caring spaces for students to learn and grow. Health and learning are closely connected. Students who go to school feeling well are ready to learn and more likely to be successful. We all have a role to play in healthy schools!

Workplace

About 70% of adults living in Alberta spend the majority of their day at work. So the workplace is another important setting for creating a culture of health. Healthy workplaces are a win-win. Organizations that invest in healthier work environments reap the benefit in terms of more committed workers and a stronger bottom line.
