Five Mountains Hawaii

Five Mountains Hawaii is currently working to bring together a wide range of health professionals in North Hawaii who have expressed interest in collaborating to support lifestyle improvement efforts in the community. Interested partners include the Hamakua Health Center, Hawaii Heart Brain Center, Friends of the Future, Hui Malama Ola Na ‘Oiwi, Queen Liliuokalani Children’s Center, North Hawaii Outcomes Project, alumni of the FMH LiveWell project and many more.

The group plans to conduct a public awareness campaign in the Northwest Hawaii region. The focus will be to educate, inform and actively engage the community about the benefits of a healthy diet and increased physical activity.

This initial work will lay the groundwork for a long-term effort to raise awareness, engage a broad spectrum of individuals, organizations, agencies and businesses, to affect positive changes in the social environment related to the important issue of obesity and weight-related health conditions. The focus will be to educate, inform and actively engage as many community elements as possible about the benefits of healthy eating and lifestyle choices.
