SUMMARY:TNJ Institute: Healthy Communities Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Planning and policy making can help to build healthy communities by ensuring that community members have access to the essential components of a healthy life\, such as nutritious food\, clean air\, and opportunities for physical activity. A community that encourages grocery stores to offer more fruits and vegetables can help to shape healthy eating habits. A community with adequate recreational facilities can increase levels of physical activity. By making active transportation like biking and walking safer and more enjoyable\, a community can reduce automobile trips and help to improve air quality. \nIn New Jersey\, communities are already taking steps to provide residents with a healthier physical and social environment to live in. They are adding food and health systems elements to their master plans\, developing blueprints to improve the health and well-being of their communities\, and implementing healthy corner store initiatives. The TNJ Healthy Communities Workshop will provide an overview of how to build healthy living conditions in your community and where in New Jersey this work is already being done. \nWORKSHOP OUTLINE \n8:30 to 9:00 – Registration \n9:00 to 9:15 – Welcome \n9:15 to 9:45 – What Does “Health in All Policies Mean”? – Richard Jackson\, Fielding School of Public Health\, UCLA; Gov.
