Mission Statement
Health by Design collaborates across sectors and disciplines to ensure communities in Indiana and beyond have neighborhoods, public spaces, and infrastructure that promote healthy, active living.
About This Cause
The choices people make are driven by the choices they have. The work of Health by Design is grounded in the Social Ecological Model (SEM), a theory-based framework used to understand public health and health behavior. The model recognizes that many factors, at multiple levels, interact to influence health outcomes. Those factors are shaped by public policy; systems of power and oppression; community, institutional and neighborhood assets or barriers; friendships and familial relationships; and individual characteristics. The model explains an increasingly understood reality: that our zip code is more important than our genetic code in determining how well and how long we live. Health by Design’s program and policy efforts are directed at increasing equitable, safe, accessible, convenient and connected options for walking, biking and public transit and encouraging responsible land use. Beyond those core program areas, we offer content expertise on the topics below and others. Accessibility, including the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) Active Living Complete Streets Placemaking Land Use and Transportation Planning Safe Routes to key Destinations, such as Schools, Parks, Transit and Food Vision Zero and Vulnerable Road User Safety
