The updated website gezondzuidholland.nl helps build a healthier province

The Festival Gezond Verstand launched the redesigned website gezondzuidholland.nl. This website is a practical tool derived from the Delta Action Agenda and was designed to connect, inspire, set agendas, and scale up effective health initiatives.

The website offers step-by-step plans and toolkits for, for example, healthy design, making healthy food broader available, or tackling loneliness. Data is available on eight specific topics. Policymakers from municipalities and healthcare organizations, as well as innovators and entrepreneurs, can also find (scientific) experts who can help them scale up their healthy solutions.

The site brings together science, policy, and practice, so that research is better aligned with practical questions, innovations are truly implemented in healthcare, and collaboration rather than fragmentation becomes standard.

Grant opportunities for upscaling

The site also offers grant opportunities, such as the Healthy Society program's grants to make proven, effective health solutions more widely available and scale them up. Using case studies, the website inspires visitors to take action to make the province of Zuid-Holland healthier. This should lead to faster scaling up of initiatives that work well in a municipality, neighborhood, or healthcare institution, for example.

Like the Delta Action Agenda, the website gezondzuidholland.nl focuses on three domains: a healthy food environment, vital and resilient residents, and a healthy living environment.

The website, along with the Delta Action Agenda, is an initiative of the province of Zuid-Holland and Medical Delta and is supported by the Healthy Society program, with input from ZHIA. In addition to Medical Delta and the province of Zuid-Holland, Leiden-Delft-Erasmus Universities also participate in the Healthy Society program.
