Glens Falls Hospital has many programs to help build healthy communities. A healthy community is one that makes it easier for people to eat well, be tobacco free, be physically active, and obtain preventive care.

The Health Promotion Center works mainly "behind the scenes" with many partner organizations to put in place the information, policies and practices that promote healthy lifestyles on a large scale.  Our community partners include schools, work sites, local municipalities and many other healthcare providers and organizations.  Below is a list of the Health Promotion Center's current programs.  Please contact the appropriate staff person if you have any questions or would like to learn more.
