Free APHA webinar: Built Environment Approaches for Improving Community Health

The built environment — our neighborhoods and communities where we live, learn, work, and play — has an impact on physical activity levels, access to healthy food, transportation behaviors, and ultimately health outcomes. This free APHA webinar on May 9 from 1:30-2:30 p.m. (Eastern time) features two counties that have taken different approaches to changing the built environment around them in order to improve the health of their communities. Experts from Kane County, Ill. will describe their model for collaborative public policy planning and discuss the implementation of their 2040 Master Plan, which fully integrates public health into land use and transportation decisions. The Manatee County Health Department in Florida will discuss the development of a Complete Streets policy to reduce pedestrian and bicycling injuries and increase opportunities for biking and walking.
