Napa valley Healthy bodies coalition
Vision
“Our community embraces a culture of health where every person has access to and is aware of nutritious food, opportunities for exercise, and safe outdoor places that inspire people to be active and thrive.”
Our Story:
The Healthy Bodies Coalition was founded in June 2014 to help provide health resources to the community of Napa County in the areas of nutrition, physical activity, positive mental attitude, and breast feeding. We have worked with over 80 stakeholders to create the Napa County Community Obesity Prevention Plan 2015-2020. The Napa County Community Obesity Prevention Plan was the first “component plan” to be developed following the completion of Live Healthy Napa County’s Community Health Improvement Plan.
