Focus Areas
- The DNPA focuses on increasing healthy eating, promoting physical activity, and decreasing obesity.

Chronic disease is the leading cause of death and disability in Indiana.
- The DNPA works with local communities across Indiana to increase levels of physical activity to support healthy community outcomes with an emphasis on removing the structural barriers that create health inequities and increase equitable access for populations who have historically and/or contemporarily experienced oppression.
