Minneapolis Public Health Department Launches the Making it Better Challenge
Making It Better is a community initiative that brings people together to discover, share and celebrate stories that inspire healthy everyday choices for everyone. It’s an open forum anyone can participate in to learn how to help more people have greater access to healthier foods and new opportunities for physical activity.
Making simple changes to improve nutrition and increase physical activity is the best way to reach a healthy weight as individuals and prevent chronic health problems such as diabetes and heart disease across the broader population. Making It Better inspires changes in our communities that help make the healthy choice the easy choice.
Each of us can make a difference. Many people already are, launching and taking part in initiatives that help our communities become healthier places to live, work and go to school.

Making it Better is made possible by funding from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services as part of the Communities Putting Prevention to Work (CPPW) community initiative. As part of this work, the Minnesota Department of Health is partnering with theCity of Minneapolis Department of Health and Family Support and Olmsted County Public Health to support community initiatives to promote active living and healthy eating.
