TALLAHASSEE, FLORIDA – The Florida Department of Health is excited to announce “Healthy Promise Florida,” an interactive, online health campaign developed by Healthiest Weight Florida to encourage individuals to make a commitment to their health during the new year.

“The new year is a great time to commit to improving your own health,” said State Surgeon General and Secretary of Health Dr. John Armstrong.

“The Healthy Promise campaign offers all Floridians inspiration, ideas and support to stay focused on making healthy choices every day.”

Floridians are invited to post a healthy promise along with a personal photo to the online message board at HealthyPromiseFL.com.

Brevard County residents and visitors can also visit the Brevard County Department of Health clinic located at 2555 Judge Fran Jamieson Way to post their promise on a Healthy Promise display board. Like the online message board, the Healthy Promise display board will highlight personal promises for the new year.
