The Ministry of Health Promotion was created to improve health outcomes for all Ontarians through healthy and active living. The Ministry's mandate is to champion health promotion, build on and enhance health promotion initiatives already in place, and improve, coordinate and deliver programs designed to contribute to healthy living and long-term wellness.
The ministry's focus on awareness, prevention, early identification and personal responsibility for health will help to reduce the need for intensive, costly treatment interventions and the strain on the health care system. By preventing problems from occurring, addressing issues early, and creating a healthy and physically active culture, Ontarians will have a greater opportunity to live longer, healthier active lives.
