At Health Nexus we envision a future where health inequities are reduced and the health of our communities is improved through collective commitment, action and innovation.
For over 25 years we have been enabling communities to promote health in Ontario and beyond. We do this by assisting organizations and individuals, at little or no cost, to develop and implement prevention and health promotion strategies that aim to enhance well-being and reduce demand on the health care and social service systems.
Health Nexus is proud to support the Ontario Chronic Disease Prevention Alliance (OCDPA) and its campaign to “tell the Ontario government that better health is worth 0.5% of the budget.” With an increase in funding for prevention and health promotion we can help reduce the burden on the health care system. Learn more about the campaign and its supporting organizations here: http://www.healthiestprovince.ca
