Healthy Environments

The environment an individual is exposed to and interacts with each day influences the individual’s health and quality of life.  Providing healthy environments can prevent disease, injury, and disability.  According to the World Health Organization website, 23% of global deaths are due to modifiable environmental factors.  Since many individuals interact with several different environments throughout their day, providing a healthy environment for an individual includes addressing the environment in homes, in workplaces, at schools, and throughout the community.
