   Healthy New Hampshire 2010 is New Hampshire’s health promotion and disease prevention agenda for the first decade of the 21st century. As a private-public initiative, this agenda represents a shared vision and acknowledges a shared responsibility for improving the health and quality of life for all New Hampshire citizens. Healthy New Hampshire 2010 focuses on healthy behaviors, our common environment, and other shared factors that are the foundation for healthy living.
    Many of the health problems that affect us most such as cancer, heart disease, stroke, and injuries are rooted in behaviors that New Hampshire citizens can do something about. A century of public health and biomedical advances has allowed us to understand more than ever that a healthier, more active quality of life is within our personal grasp. Tobacco use, diet, inactivity, and alcohol use together may account for more than 40% of all deaths. Other factors play a role in our health too. We all benefit from access to quality health services and safe environments in which to live, work and play.
     Healthy New Hampshire 2010 will guide efforts in these essential areas and track our progress toward improvement. As a private-public initiative, Healthy New Hampshire 2010 can serve as the framework to focus resources, talents and voices that can make a real difference for our families, neighbors and communities

The mission of Healthy New Hampshire 2010 is to inspire action and focus resources, engaging private and public partners, to improve the quality of life - and years of healthy life - for the New Hampshire public.
