The Health Promotion Unit, as its name suggests, is engaged in promoting a healthy lifestyle at all levels for the entire population, hence its importance as an arm of the Community and Resident Services Department.

A healthy lifestyle is characteristic of the city's residents, many of whom are religiously observant, and this way of life implements the commandment “And you shall greatly safeguard your souls.”

The unit works in cooperation with Kuput Holim (Health Funds), United Hatzalah, and Magen David Adom.

Throughout the year, the unit organizes seminars, community health fairs, and observes global awareness days such as Breast Cancer Awareness Day, No Smoking Day, Diabetes Day, and many more.

Description of the Unit's Activities:

  • Providing information and education on health issues throughout the year.
     
  • Collaboration with Kuput Holim organizations and initiatives to make services and rights accessible to the public.
     
  • Creating partnerships with community health organizations and associations.
     
  • Community activities, projects, and competitions to raise awareness and promote a healthy lifestyle in areas such as nutrition, physical activity, a clean environment, and smoking prevention.
