Healthiest State Initiative

Our Executive Director, Jami Haberl, participated in the Community Leader Panel, where she shared why caring for our natural resources matters to our health well-being more than ever and how the conversation around cancer in Iowa has evolved in recent years.🌿

Iowa’s parks, trails, wildlife, soil and water have an enormous impact on our well-being and the strength of our communities — which is why we were proud to join our friends from the @INHF and so many other incredible organizations for Celebrate Iowa's Outdoors Day 2026! 🌳🥳
