About Us |
Our Mission The Health Education Council is dedicated to providing access, education, advocacy, and training to empower individuals towards a healthy life.The Health Education Council (HEC) is focused primarily on eliminating preventable causes of death resulting from the use of tobacco, poor nutrition, and lack of physical activity. The agency operates more than 25 public health programs nationwide to meet the needs of diverse communities by increasing access to health-related knowledge and information. HEC works proactively and collaboratively to ensure individuals are empowered to live a healthy life. We represent diverse staff, community partners, and funders to better serve populations that otherwise do not have a voice for health or access to healthy environments. History The Health Education Council was established in 1979 as the Hypertension Council. The Council's name changed in 1990 to reflect its expansion into other health promotion programs. HEC was incorporated in 1991 as an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Click here to see some of our prior programs. |
