What We Do

The Iowa Healthiest State Initiative is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization driven by the goal to ensure every Iowan can live their healthiest life. By engaging worksites, communities, schools, retail food, organizations, institutions and individuals, we work to create awareness and integrate solutions to improve the physical, social and emotional wellbeing of Iowans.

The Iowa Healthiest State Initiative relies on donor support to continue its critical work. Your gift will help our efforts to make Iowa the healthiest state in the nation by improving the physical, social and emotional well-being of Iowans. To support Iowa Healthiest State, please visit our website at https://www.iowahealthieststate.com/take-action
