Intro to Healthy Worksites
We are helping employers make eating healthy food, getting physical activity, and supporting breastfeeding moms easier for their employees.
Safe places to walk, vibrant parks, complete streets, thriving downtown areas, and public transportation for all. These make a healthy community.
Learn MoreMaking healthy food choices at work shouldn't be hard. Donuts may satisfy our sweet tooth, but an apple makes our bodies (and workforce!) healthier. From healthy vending guidelines to sample procurement policies, we have tools you can use.
Learn MoreGrowing bodies and minds need healthy fuel. The places where our children learn play a big role in making a lifetime of healthy food choices.
Learn MoreBetter grades, improved concentration, and fewer sick days. That's just a few reasons to increase physical activity in schools. But we're talking more than just recess and PE. We have some creative ways to get kids and the whole family moving.
Learn MoreA healthy workforce gets more done! From healthy vending guidelines and support for moms returning to the workforce, to wellness policies and tracking systems, we have tools and resources to cultivate a culture of health at your worksite.
What if everyone could access fresh, affordable fruits and vegetables, while supporting our local economy? Community gardens, farmers' markets, healthy cooking classes, and local and state-level policies make healthy foods easier to eat year-round.
Learn MoreDid you know a 20-ounce soda has more sugar than 18 cookies? Cutting back on sugary drinks is one of the most effective ways to prevent weight gain or lose weight. We can help you Rethink Your Drink.
Learn MoreBreastfeeding gives babies a head start on a healthy life. Families, health care providers, employers, and community leaders can all take steps to encourage and support moms who breastfeed.
Learn MoreOur state usually sits at the top of all the lists you don't want to be on, but we know Arkansas can do better. More importantly, we DESERVE better. Our goal is to promote good nutrition and physical activity for all Arkansans.
