What’s in a Name?

Plan available directly from the
City of Bloomington

Recently, I was looking at the Pew Health Impact Project web site and noticed a featured HIA: the Xcel Energy Corridor: http://www.healthimpactproject.org/resources#reports

This is an excerpt from a plan featured on the Design for Health web site (one of the 19 Minnesota communities in Phase 1 of the project). On Design for Health site it is listed under the place name (Bloomington) and plan name (Alternative Transportation Plan) at http://www.designforhealth.net/cases/bloomington.html

Whatever the name it’s great to have these examples featured in multiple places.
What more defines the health of a women than her color and texture of her skin? The minute someone lays their eyes on you, they'll see the glow on your skin and ask what kind of anti aging products you are using. The best we've used so far is the Vitamin C Serum , that comes in many shapes, sizes and brands. Before buying one, it's vital that you read the best anti aging product reviews. Be it serums, night or day creams, and other skin care products, every brand has its pros and cons. Check it out ladies!

Food Resources

How people get access to healthy food is a concern to many. I’ve recently had some requests for information. Design for Health resources include an "issues sheet" with ideas for incorporating food into planning and a research summary. Links include a food security assessment, also featured on an earlier blog http://healthymetropolis.blogspot.com/2010/11/tools-food-security-assessments.html

The APA's national healthy communities center has a food interest group is also a terrific resource as are its numerous publications on this issue: http://www.planning.org/nationalcenters/health/food.htm
