Auckland
Regional Public Health Service's Healthy Kai programme supports the primary
prevention of obesity, Type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease by
addressing the nutrition environment in Mangere, Otara, Glen Eden and Glen
Innes.
The programme works alongside retailers (programme partners) to increase the availability and quality of ready to eat Healthy Kai choices. These ready to eat foods are actively promoted to encourage the community to purchase these healthier food choices from their local town centre.
Healthy Kai has now been transitioned to community ownership, and the contact e-mail for each town centre are:
Mangere Healthy Kai Programme: Mangere Community Health Trust Pam.Williams@xtra.co.nz
Otara Healthy Kai Programme: Otara Health Trust Inc. lueyna@otarahealth.org.nz
Glen Innes Healthy Kai Programme: The Sanctuary, Glen Eden
Glen Eden Healthy Kai Programme: HealthWEST PHO
