Causes: Health, Health Care
Mission: The nonprofit Prevention Partners focuses on the leading health issues: decreasing tobacco use, increasing physical activity, promoting good nutrition and reducing obesity. Our web-based products guide decision-makers to transform workplaces, schools, hospitals, clinics and other settings by changing policies, environment and cultures from the top down. Our name changed to simply Prevention Partners late in 2013, reflecting the broadening scope of our work. As it has grown, Prevention Partners' work has evolved into the creation of web-based assessment and training products: WorkHealthy AmericaSM for workplaces, Zone Health for schools, and Quit Tobacco Systems for hospitals and health clinics. And while these programs are bringing prevention practices to more than two dozen states, our commitment to North Carolina is only deepening with Our Promise to North Carolina campaign, vowing to reach all 100 counties in the state where our work is rooted. Our ultimate vision: Healthy places change lives.
Results: We've coached hundreds of organizations — hospitals, businesses, schools, state agencies — in how to create healthy policies, benefits, and environments. More than a dozen organizations have reached our Excellence Recognition, our highest national standard for workplaces, created in 2013.For employees, this means working in a tobacco-free environment, access to nutritious, affordable food, access to physical activity during the work day, and many other benefits that make healthy choices the norm.
Target demographics: organizations create cultures of health and wellness for employees, students, teachers, and patients
Direct beneficiaries per year: 383 organizations in 27 states, benefitting 630,077 employees, students, teachers and patients
Geographic areas served: across the country
Programs: change-process initiatives including WorkHealthy America, LearnHealthy, Patient Quit-Tobacco System, and LeadHealthy.
