Health Promotion
The Population Health Unit is involved in many Health Promotion initiatives in northern Saskatchewan.
Health Promotion is:
- Changing the conditions and environment in which people live, work, and play
- Making the healthy choices the easy choices
- Focusing on nurturing root causes of good health
- More than just pamphlets and information
At the Population Health Unit, we incorporate the values of Health Promotion into all of our work:
- Respect for each individual, while at the same time giving priority to the common good when conflict arises
- Support for community participation
- Sharing resources
- Pursuing social justice to reduce health inequities
- Caring for the environment
