Northwestern Health Unit Releases Strategic Plan

The Northwestern Health Unit has released its 2013-2016 strategic plan.
The plan highlights increasing levels of physical activity and healthy eating, more community input into programs, working in partnership and strengthening agency services that support program delivery.
CEO Mark Perrault says they are focusing on children for measurement to increase the percent of children to meet their Canadian physical guidelines by 5 percent by 2016.
He adds that they will be providing schools with surveys so they can monitor their progress, and then look at their numbers by the end of the year.
