The Healthy Edit
Welcome to the Healthy Edit! A podcast focused on — you guessed it — health and wellness, but from the perspective of HealthCorps, a national not-for-profit dedicated to teen wellness.
On this season of the Healthy Edit, you’ll be hearing directly from our staff, students, and other health advocates to discover the secret to what makes our wellness programming so impactful, inclusive, and sustainable and how you – just like our teens – can make health happen.
Since 2003, HealthCorps has worked in high-need schools with a mission to end health inequity by providing health and wellness resources to students, faculty, and families.
