Healthy Eating, Active Living (HEAL) Idaho

Genuine solutions to the challenging problem of obesity require the joint effort of partners and collaborators. Healthy Eating, Active Living (HEAL) Idaho is a voluntary network of organizations, agencies, businesses and individuals committed to creating an environment where all Idahoans value and have access to healthy food options as well as places and opportunities to be physically active to improve their health and well-being. 

HEAL Idaho strives to create thriving communities where making the healthy choice is the easy choice.

HEAL Network members share information and access to resources through a Google group as well as regional meetings and an annual statewide summit. Through these web-based and group activities, members have access to:

• Tools for grassroots organizing,
• National, state and community–based educational offerings,
• Funding resources and opportunities, and
• New partnerships for leveraging services and programs.

To become involved with HEAL Idaho, go online to Google Groups (you will first need to create a Google account if you don't already have one), enter 'HEAL Idaho' in the search box, and request your membership. Once approved, you will receive confirmation to join the HEAL Idaho Google Group where you will have access to health information updates, grant funding opportunities, success stories, best practices, and member contacts.

HEAL Idaho is facilitated by the IDHW Bureau of Community and Environmental Health (BCEH) Idaho Physical Activity and Nutrition (IPAN) Program. As the facilitator and convenor, IPAN provides administrative support, communication coordination and fiscal management.  For more information, contact Jaime Harding at HardingJ@dhw.idaho.gov or 208-334-5788.
