Obesity

 'Welcome to the Homepage of the Maine Public Health Association's Obesity Policy Committee.

Members of our committee have been collaborating for over a decade to improve the health and well-being of Maine people through public policy initiatives that aim to improve nutrition, increase physical activity, and prevent obesity.

For more information*, please scroll down the page.

The committee previously worked under the umbrella of the Health Policy Partners of Maine, and before that as the Maine Coalition on Smoking or Health.

''We cannot continue to operate without the dedicated support of our partners and constituency.  Please consider ''making a donation'' to the Maine Public Health Association's public policy activities.'''
