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.
