2022 Healthy Eating and Active Living (HEAL) Letters of Intent (LOI)

November 10, 2021

The Paso del Norte Health Foundation seeks Letters of Intent (LOIs) from eligible organizations to promote healthy eating and physical activity. A high-quality diet that includes fruits and vegetables and appropriate daily caloric intake can combat the onset of chronic diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. Being physically active and minimizing sedentary time also decreases the risk of chronic diseases.

The Health Foundation is specifically interested in programs that promote fruit and vegetable consumption or portion control or in approaches that create opportunities to increase physical activity or decrease sedentary behavior.
