HEAL

Today, I attended the Healthy Eating Active Living (HEAL) conference in Concord, NH. To give you a better understanding of what this organization is trying to achieve I will provide the vision for you, "HEAL envisions a New Hampshire where all residents improve health and quality of life through healthy eating and active living." Various coalition members spoke about the ways in which NH can achieve this vision.
I became highly motivated at this conference to return back to my home state, Washington, so I can look at the ways WA is working to achieve a similar vision. The major piece that I took from this conference was that with a collaborative effort from all areas in the community this vision is attainable. Now, I am trying to envision my role in this movement and how I can bring the skills that I have learned in New England back to the Pacific Northwest.
