LifeWorks is an initiative that is helping thousands of people in Hastings and Prince Edward counties to make positive lifestyle choices so they can enjoy a healthy life. Individuals, groups and organizations have been working together since 1998 to promote healthy lifestyle choices that reduce the risk of chronic diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, cancer and stroke. This is accomplished through activities that promote eating well, being active, and being smoke-free in the schools, workplaces and the community throughout Hastings and Prince Edward counties.
Everyone involved in LifeWorks believes positive lifestyle changes can help people reduce their chance of developing cardiovascular disease, diabetes, stroke, cancer and other chronic diseases. This is why LifeWorks exists.
