Schools have been identified as the single most important institution with potential to improve educational and health outcomes for young people. As a result, the Department of Health (DOH) formed a partnership with the Department of Education (DOE), University of Hawaii, and other community partners to promote nutrition, physical activity and tobacco-free lifestyles in school settings. This partnership continues to make advances in policy, environmental and systems changes that impact the majority of Hawaii’s children. Visit https://health.hawaii.gov/school-health for more information on policies that support health in schools.
