What is HEAL?

A collaborative approach to health promotion

HEAL began through grassroots engagement in Northern BC in 2001, building on the understanding that true health happens in the context of community.

HEAL engages in information sharing and creating communication connections and support for communities to move their ideas into action.

HEAL is a collective of individuals, organizations and communities partnering with Northern Health to form the HEAL Network across Northern BC.

HEAL builds linkages and connections focused on healthy eating and active living, providing support through knowledge, resources and communication tools.
