Leading the movement to make Oregon a healthier place to live!
Eating better, moving more and living tobacco free lets Oregonians live healthier lives and do the things they love.
Today in Oregon, nutritious food, places to play and exercise, and smokefree air are out of reach for too many people. This is particularly true for minorities, low-income individuals, people with disabilities and other underserved populations.
As a result, chronic diseases like asthma, heart disease, diabetes, arthritis and cancer are on the rise, especially among underserved populations. We have the power to change the places where we live, learn, work and play to put healthy options within reach-especially where children are concerned.

Reducing Sodium in our Communities
