Health Education Council The mission of the Health Education Council is to cultivate health and well-being in under-served communities by leveraging the power of collaboration.

• operating public health programs nationwide to meet the needs of diverse, underserved communities

• working proactively and collaboratively to ensure individuals are empowered to live a healthy

life;

• representing diverse staff, community partners and stakeholders to better serve communities who otherwise do not have a voice for care, or access to healthy environments

We enjoy starting our Sunday morning with movement, fresh air, and new friends!

In partnership with Alchemist CDC, we hosted our weekly Walk with Friends at the Meadowview Farmers Market, bringing together nearly 100 community members for a morning of physical activity, connection, and fun.

Walkers enjoyed a morning walk, activities, and a market voucher to help purchase fresh produce! We love seeing our community come together to get active and support healthy living.

🥕 Cooking healthy, budget-friendly meals and building community!

We wrapped up our two-part nutrition and cooking series with a friendly cooking competition! Using fresh, affordable ingredients, community members prepared simple, healthy dishes while learning more about making nutritious meals at home.

And while it was a “competition,” participants were eager to help and encourage one another along the way. We’re proud to promote healthy eating while creating opportunities for connection and support.
