Healthy Aroostook is a local coalition that collaborates with community partners in Central and Southern Aroostook. Much of the work is through education and awareness as well as policy and environmental change in five areas: physical activity, nutrition, tobacco, substance abuse, and chronic disease. Some of the other areas addressed by Healthy Aroostook include Lead and Breastfeeding.
