Healthy Living – Community Health Resources or Community Health Programs

Health and wellness are shaped by the places people live, work, and play.

Southwest District Health works in partnership with our community to identify health needs, implement programming to improve health, and participate in important community events. By implementing community health programs that promote and encourage healthier behaviors and activities, we can motivate communities to change policy, systems, or environments, to prevent adverse health outcomes and create a healthier community for all.

We are committed to greater engagement in the overall health of our community and actively encourage community members to join us in becoming Healthier Together.
