Healthier Communities

In addition to healthcare, individual health behaviours as well as the physical and social environments in which one lives contribute greatly to overall health status.

Healthy public policy where we work, play, live, learn and are cared for can improve the health of citizens and the communities in which they live.

Fraser Health’s Leadership, Medical Health Officers and Community Health Specialists work to support communities in our region in their health promotion activities.

To further support citizens in improving their health and to address factors which influence health, our Healthy Living Team works both internally and with municipalities and community groups to support vulnerable citizens and neighbourhoods, and to improve community health through healthy living initiatives, with the goal of reducing rates of chronic disease.

The Healthy Living team consists of a diverse group of health professionals with expertise in tobacco reduction, healthy eating, food security, physical activity, healthy built environment and healthy public polices.
