For the past 25 years, the Health Education Council has focused primarily on:
• eliminating preventable causes of death resulting from the use of tobacco, poor nutrition, and lack of physical activity
• operating public health programs nationwide to meet the needs of diverse, underserved communities
• working proactively and collaboratively to ensure individuals are empowered to live a healthy life;
• representing diverse staff, community partners and stakeholders to better serve communities who otherwise do not have a voice for care, or access to healthy environments
