About HI
HI stands for health improvement. It's an initiative started by Heartland Health to help our community achieve a better quality of life. Your health is the most important part of your life. It controls your energy level, your comfort, your ability to perform daily tasks, even how productive you are at your job. Your lifestyle now impacts your health later.
The choices you make today are important. Choosing fruits and vegetables as healthy snacks instead of chips and candy and reducing your portion sizes is a great way to start. Small changes to your daily routine give you flexibility while building healthy habits. Make a healthy change each day to gain momentum.
Many diseases and chronic conditions are lifestyle related. By sharing your healthy lifestyle habits with your family, you can stop chronic conditions in their tracks. Give your children a healthy start in life by helping them make healthy choices.
It's a fact -- healthy people lower health-care costs for everyone. Heartland Health is actively engaged in improving lives in the community and lowering health care costs through community centered wellness programs like the Pound Plunge, the Colorectal Cancer Screening, Corporate Challenge, Women's Wellness Initiative, the Heart Walk, the St. Joseph Parkway Run/Walk, the 4th Grade Challenge and the Diabetes Expo.
