New Partnership Will Address Childhood Obesity, Chronic Disease
Nova Scotia is partnering with Novo Nordisk Canada Inc. to create the Nova Scotia Lighthouse project, an initiative that will address childhood obesity and chronic disease in the province.
The Nova Scotia Lighthouse project will bring together healthcare, academic and economic leaders to identify barriers and challenges that contribute to poor health outcomes. Business, academia and community organizations will be invited to submit proposals to address them.
Nova Scotia is the first jurisdiction in the world to deliver this initiative outside of Denmark.
