Steps
to a HealthierNY
is part of a national health promotion and
disease prevention initiative entitled Steps to a Healthier
US, launched by the Department of Health and Human Services.
This five year cooperative agreement program aims to help
Americans live healthier, longer, and better lives by reducing
the burden of diabetes, overweight, obesity and asthma and
addressing three related risk factors-physical inactivity,
poor nutrition and tobacco use. |

Rockland County is part of a four county project lead by the
New York State Department of Health through funding from the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Awards are given to implement school and community-based
initiatives that enhance and expand existing, evidenced based
efforts in our community to promote policy development,
implementation and environmental change. As a result of this
initiative, it is hopeful that Rockland County residents will
take personal responsibility for their health and empower the
community to take social responsibility to adopt healthy
lifestyles and reduce the burden of chronic diseases.
