What We Do

OUR VISION
    Island County residents will live healthier lives through increased physical 
    activity and healthier diets.

OUR MISSION
    We strive to reduce chronic disease risk factors, such as obesity, physical 
    inactivity, and poor nutrition, by working with the community to influence
    policies, environments, and health behaviors.

OUR GOALS
    ●   Increase healthy nutrition by increasing (1) consumption of fruits
        and vegetables, (2) healthy snacks served at schools, child and youth   
        service organizations, and worksites, and (3) family meal times
    ●   Increase the percentage of Island County youth and adults who are physically
         active
    ●   Increase the number of Island County residents who bike or walk to
        school/work or for recreational activity
    ●   Decrease overweight and obesity rates in Island County by (1) reducing the
        proportion of overweight children and adolescents in Island County to 5%
        and (2) increasing the proportion of adults at a healthy weight to 60%
    ●   Reduce sedentary activity by limiting screen time for children to no more
        than 2 hours per day
    ●   Increase knowledge, awareness, and prevalence of nutrition and physical
        activity policies
