Nutrition and Physical Activity Program

Working for just, healthy, and livable communities.

About

Our Nutrition and Physical Activity Program is part of the Health Department's Division of Chronic Disease & Injury Prevention. We work collaboratively to create healthier environments in Philadelphia by:

  • Establishing just food policy and supporting community-led nutrition projects.
  • Setting nutrition standards and promoting best practices for City agencies, hospital systems, and early childhood education.
  • Improving access to fresh produce and appealing drinking water.
  • Making neighborhoods safer with built environment improvements and opportunities for physical activity.
  • Helping health care providers educate their patients and community.
  • Addressing broader determinants of healthy eating and active living, including housing conditions.
