HLPs are committed to supporting behavior changes towards Healthy Living and helping to ensure these changes are maintained over the long-term. As an HLP, youโ€™ll participate in a broad range of activities related to the field including individual/ patient care, program development and implementation, teaching, research and leadership activities related to Healthy Living Medicine.
