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:
Otara Healthy Kai Programme: Otara Health Trust Inc.lueyna@otarahealth.org.nz
Mangere Healthy Kai Programme: Mangere Community Health Trust
Glen Innes Healthy Kai Programme: The Sanctuary, Glen Eden
Glen Eden Healthy Kai Programme: HealthWEST PHO kay@healthwest.co.nz
