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 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 and the Health Equity Council are partnering to build capacity for equity in health promotion in Ontario through a bilingual project entitled Building Capacity for Equity in Health Promotion. This project is funded by the Healthy Communities Fund of the Ontario Ministry of Health Promotion, and runs from November 2009 to March 2011.
Surveys to gather data for the Environmental Scan and Promising Practice Directory are now online.
This handbook is for health professionals, health promoters/
educators, and community groups/organizations who want
to work across sectors and with multiple levels to leverage
their joint potential to prevent chronic disease in their
communities.

A resource for health and community
workers, activists and local residents to understand how
the social determinants of health impact chronic disease--and
what we can do about it.
