Healthy Portland

Did you know...
Tobacco is the #1 preventable cause of death in Maine.

Welcome!

Healthy Portland is a community coalition working to improve the health of our city by promoting healthy, active ways of life. Our community coalition is made up of folks from schools, businesses, worksites, media, public policy makers, community groups and residents. We all work together to make it easier for people living and working in Portland to eat healthy, be physically active and live their lives tobacco-free.

Our community is at the heart of what we do and we encourage you to become a part of our coalition. There are many ways that you can help improve the health of our city. You can do as much or as little as your time and interest allow. Tell us what is important to you, stay informed by signing up to receive our monthly Egrams, or be a leader by becoming part of our coalition. The list below gives some ideas of what we do.
