It's Great to be Out in the
Great Outdoors
Doesn't it just feel good to take a break and get outside? Sunshine and time in green spaces has positive effects on both attention and mood and is strongly associated with improved mental well-being for children.
Check out some great low and no cost fun and active outdoor things to do like walking and biking on miles of city trails, visiting the farmers markets around town, family swim nights, learning to fish, and disc golf.
All in our latest Health and the City column. Co-written with LNKTV Health.

Comprehensive Resource Pages to
Improve Maternal and Child Health
Partnership for a Healthy Lincoln is working to help impact Nebraska's maternal and infant mortality rates by improving access to prenatal and postpartum care, particularly for women and families in medically underserved communities.
As part of that effort, we have added several pages to our web site in English and Spanish that provide information about available community resources, including free and income-based pregnancy care coverage for those that qualify, information about organizations that help provide maternal and infant care needs and services, and nutrition education and distribution.

Partnership for a Healthy Lincoln is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving and protecting the health, wellness, and fitness of Lincoln's children, families, and seniors.
We work to improve wellness policies and conduct community level health research. We collaborate with community partners to promote healthy weights through good nutrition and fitness, improve child and maternal health by supporting breastfeeding, create better patient outcomes by increasing cancer screening and vaccination rates, improving chronic disease management, increasing preventative outreach, and standardizing clinical practices. During public health crises like the COVID 19 pandemic, we help to protect community health by providing science and evidence-based information.
Partnership for a Healthy Lincoln also works to improve health equity in our community, addressing disparities among racial and ethnic populations with the highest burden of chronic disease. Systemic racism is also a threat to community health. We stand in solidarity with everyone who is fighting for greater equality and justice for all.
