Healthy Counties Database

Welcome to NACo’s Healthy Counties Database, where you can search for model policies, programs and initiatives that counties nationwide have enacted to promote wellness and help prevent childhood obesity. No need to reinvent the wheel. Find out what peer local government leaders have done to enable and encourage nutritious diets, physical activity, and healthy built and social environments.

The Healthy Counties Database was launched in June 2008. We are continually seeking county submissions in order to build the resource. To submit a policy or practice, please complete this form and return to Anita Cardwell at acardwell@naco.org.

This project is supported by Leadership for Healthy Communities, a national program of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation.
