HEALTH AND HEALTHY COMMUNITIES

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being, and not merely the absence of infirmity. A healthy community as described by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Healthy People 2010 report is that continuously creates and improves both its physical and social environments, helping people to support one another in aspects of daily life and to develop to their fullest potential. Healthy communities are those designed and built to improve the quality of life for all people who live, work, worship, learn, and play within their borders--where every person is free to make choices amid a variety of healthy, available, accessible, and affordable options.
