Healthy Iowa Award applications now available!
October 1, 2009 marked the first annual presentation of the Healthy Iowa Awards. These awards celebrated the healthiest schools, organizations and individuals in Iowa.
The Healthy Iowa Awards are presented by the Academy for a Healthy Iowa - a collaboration between the Iowa Department of Public Health, Governor’s Council on Physical Fitness and Nutrition and Wellness Council of Iowa. Award winners are selected based on providing access to wellness, programming, financial commitment, measurability and sustainability. Winners retain the “Healthy Iowa” designation for three years at which point they must reapply.
