Minnesota Physical Activity and Nutrition
(PAN) Programs

The Minnesota Physical Activity and Nutrition (MnPAN) Program supports Minnesotans to be active, eat more nutritious foods, strive for a healthy weight and make healthy and safe choices related to alcohol and other drug use.

We provide leadership, coordination and technical assistance to a broad range of partners across Minnesota and work to improve the public’s health in settings such as schools, health care, public health systems, community centers and worksites. We aspire to reduce the serious human impact and financial cost of chronic disease and injury. To achieve our goal we help to create healthy communities that support people and their families to maintain healthy lives.

  How communities influence our health and the health of our youth is the subject of the Health In My Hometown photovoice project from MDH. Thirteen communities gave cameras to youth to document what helps them be healthy and what was holds them back regarding healthy eating, active living, and staying tobacco free. Two videos and a photo book are available online at Health In My Hometown www.healthinmyhometown.org.
