ABOUT US
Our health is our wealth
With good health – both mental and physical – we can thrive at school, at work, in our family and community lives. When poor health takes its toll we suffer, not just from the pain and distress but the knock on to so many aspects of our lives.
Yet we can all be healthier. By taking a number of steps, both in our own lives, and in supporting those around us, together we can create a healthier place for us all.
While health fads come and go in the media, there is a mountain of evidence of what will really make a difference to our own health and the health of our communities and these determinants are what make up the 12 priorities.
