The goals of the Healthy Communities Program at the Halifax County Health Department are to build healthy communities.
We promote healthful living and reduce the risks of disease through policy and environmental changes in terms of physical activity, healthy food choices and portions, and tobacco use cessation.
The Healthy Communities Program helps neighborhoods develop organizational and advocacy skills to facilitate changes that sustain healthy behaviors.
Community Partnerships
The Healthy Communities Program staff form partnerships with other health care providers, schools, work sites, faith organizations, leaders and many others to bring about changes in our community.
