Turning prevention science into real-world action where we work, learn, and receive care.
For Prevention
We assist organizations to create healthier environments by combating the major causes of preventable disease which includes tobacco use, poor nutrition, physical inactivity and obesity.
About Us
Why Prevention Matters
The location of people, where they live, work and learn has a direct effect on their health. Prevention is there to assist organizations in transforming evidence-based research in the field of public health into change that is practical and measurable.
We collaborate with schools, workplaces, hospitals, and community organizations in order to incorporate prevention into regular policies, environments and systems in order to make everyone healthier.
