Healthy Lincoln Streets Alive! Community Project

Living Longer, Healthier Lives -
Partnership for a Healthy Lincoln (Healthy Lincoln) is dedicated to improving health, wellness, and fitness in our city.   We collaborate with over 24 local organizations on joint projects to help those in our community live longer, healthier lives.  

We accomplish that by (1) promoting good nutrition and fitness, especially in the school system, childcare, workplace and neighborhood environments, (2) improving infant and maternal health through support of breastfeeding, (3) working with the healthcare community to save lives by increasing vaccination rates and cancer screening ,and (4 ) improving neighborhood health through wellness outreach.

Improving Community Health, One Neighborhood at a Time -
Through our annual Streets Alive! outreach festival we provide free health and wellness resources from over 100 community health organizations to neighborhoods that need it the most, moving to a new at risk neighborhood every two years.  In order to leave a lasting impact on our host neighborhood, this year we created the Streets Alive! Community Development Project.  This two year project works to increase neighborhood vitality and health by creating a safe outdoor space that will support active outdoor living and learning in the heart of the neighborhood, adjacent to schools, community and childcare centers.  Our whole community benefits when we make our neighborhoods healthier.
