Communities
People are ultimately responsible for the lifestyle choices they make related to health. However, the best prediction of health behavior and long-lasting successful behavior change is often the community in which a person lives. Healthy Rice County is working with communities to increase access and affordability of fresh produce, increase access and use of recreational facilities, promote non-motorized transportation (walking/biking), and connect residents with tobacco cessation resources.
