Healthy Eating & Physical Activity Resource Guide
Healthy Eating, Active Living Community Health Initiative (HEAL) is a project of the Community Activity and Nutrition Coalition of Sonoma County (CAN-C) that is funded by Kaiser Permanente Northern California Region. The goal of HEAL is to empower communities with the capacity to support healthy eating and active living through sustainable policy, systems, and environmental change across four sectors - schools, worksites, healthcare and neighborhoods.
The 2010 Healthy Eating and Physical Activity Resource Guide is designed to provide residents of south Santa Rosa with information on physical activity, healthy food options, nutrition education, cooking classes, and food assistance available in the community.
