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.

Engaged Educators and Communities to Support Teen Health with Mari Arandia and Erin Spillane
At HealthCorps, not only do we work with teens to live healthier lifestyles — their families, schools, and local community get involved to sustain this positive culture of wellness!
In this episode of The Healthy Edit, HealthCorps Program Coordinators Mari Arandia and Erin Spillane share their experiences with connecting and nurturing healthier communities with the San Diego Unified High School District.
In order to support the health of their students, Mari and Erin first needed to encourage teachers and faculty to care for their own health — a challenge for many overwhelmed educators across the country. But with HealthCorps and SDUHSD's Wellness Council, schools now have empowered students, supported teachers, and local resources to live happier, healthier lives.
Special thank you to San Diego Unified High School District for supporting Teens Make Health Happen.
