Making Monday the Day All Health Breaks Loose!
We’re a public health initiative associated with Johns Hopkins, Columbia, and Syracuse Universities that promotes sustainable behavior change by dedicating every Monday to health.
Our Campaigns
Individuals and organizations can apply one or more of our campaigns to address different health behaviors, including nutrition, physical activity, stress management, and tobacco cessation.
Are You Game for Health?
Healthy Monday's Game for Health email series is a fun way to reach your wellness goals. Each week you’ll learn a new skill (delivered to your inbox) related to either physical activity, stress management or healthy eating, with the challenge to try it that week.
Highlights from Our Partners
We work with leading health institutions to develop evidence-based health programs and promotions that can be implemented in a range of settings including hospitals, schools, workplaces, and communities.
