Healthy Living
Our healthy living focus is guided by the
River Valley Health (RVH) Healthy Living Strategy (2007-2012) that outlines five
strategic directions to improve population health in our region over the next 5
years. The primary focus will be on creating integration and momentum for action
to achieve common goals:
-
Healthy children growing up in healthy
families and in healthy communities
-
Lower rates of
preventable injuries among children and seniors in particular
-
Creating
environments that support people make healthier lifestyle choices, improve
their overall psychological wellbeing and reduce the incidence
of diabetes, heart disease, cancers and other preventable diseases
We are pleased to provide you with a copy of this plan.
