Healthy Nashville Leadership Councilhealthy nashville

The Healthy Nashville Leadership Council was created by Executive Order No. 25 to mobilize community initiatives to achieve improvements in health, specifically to reduce the impact of three strategic issues: obesity, tobacco use and disparities in heart disease, diabetes and cancer. The Healthy Nashville Leadership Council is supported by the Metro Public Health Department.

“Nashville is known as a center for the healthcare industry. With so much expertise in the area of health, we should also be known as a city for healthy living. The leadership council members share this goal with me."  - Mayor Karl Dean
