Health note Healthy Together
The Health Memorandum Healthy Together (2024-2028) explains how we plan to improve the health of residents. We not only want people not to be sick, but also for everyone to actively participate in society and have meaningful experiences.
Goals
The most important goals are that all residents of the municipality of Leeuwarden are healthy, experience a good quality of life and have equal opportunities to grow up, live and grow old in a healthy way.
Approach
The municipality’s approach is about 4 things:
- Ensuring that everyone has the same opportunities to live a healthy life.
- Ensure a healthy environment.
- Improve mental health.
- Helping people grow old healthily.
The municipality wants to intervene in time and prevent people from becoming ill. We want to do this together with residents, professionals and other organizations. This means that everyone plays a role and is jointly responsible for the well-being of the residents. To see whether the approach works, we want to talk to residents and professionals and conduct research, specifically at district and village level. This way we can understand which residents need extra attention.
