Healthy Eating, Active Living (HEAL) Community Initiative

A project of the Community Activity and Nutrition Coalition

Healthy Eating, Active Living (HEAL) is a project of the Community Activity and Nutrition Coalition (CAN-C) which is underway in Southwest and Southeast Santa Rosa. The purpose of HEAL is to increase the availability of healthy foods that people can afford, and opportunities for people of all ages to be physically active.

HEAL works with businesses in Southwest and Southeast Santa Rosa to assist employers in making healthy changes in the work place that benefit employees, including:

• increasing healthy food choices
• promoting physical activity

The HEAL project also works with schools, healthcare providers and residents to create more healthy choices where people live, work and play.
