Research shows that when people are informed and involved in their communities, everyone benefits. Civic engagement—like volunteering with local organizations, voting and staying active in local issues—can help build stronger social connections, reduce the risk of heart disease and stroke, and improve overall well-being. By working together, we can create healthier environments, support lifesaving research, and ensure access to quality health care for all.

The act of voting is at the heart of a healthy democracy. A growing body of research shows voting also plays an important role in physical health. When you get to know your elected officials and get involved in your community, you can make your life better.
It’s all about making a difference in our communities by developing the knowledge, skills, values and motivation that comes from understanding needs and being connected socially.
