Healthy Communities

The ISU Extension Community and Economic Development program has addressed the issue of healthy communities in a number of ways. Ongoing projects include:

• I-WALK (Iowans Walking Assessment Logistics Kit)
   
• Northeast Iowa Food and Fitness Initiative
   
• County Health Needs Assessments
