priority area 1

Improve Wellness and Healthy Lifestyles
We want to make the healthy choice the easy choice from eating well, to being physically active, to taking care of our minds and spirits.

Story of Success: The Healthy Bodies Coalition
In June 2014, Live Healthy Napa County delivered a call to action for community partners to come together and focus on tackling one of the most significant, pervasive issues affecting health in our community: obesity. 

Over eighty stakeholders answered that call and came together to develop a shared vision, contribute innovative, strategic ideas, and committed to taking action while developing the first ever Napa County Community Obesity Prevention Plan.
The Napa County Community Obesity Prevention Plan is the first “component plan” to be developed following the completion of Live Healthy Napa County’s Community Health Improvement Plan. Component Plans allow community stakeholders to focus collectively on a specific theme or issue area that has arisen as part of a larger community assessment or planning process.
