How are we defining health?
![Page 5: Exploring the Health-Learning Nexus Urban Strategies Council Alameda County](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022081518/551ab267550346b2288b4b09/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being and not
merely the absence of disease or infirmity.

Questions to Discuss: Which health issues would we like to learn more
about?
Which health issues do we see having the biggest impact on children’s literacy development? Are we already addressing any? How?
Which of the health issues we are considering as priorities lend themselves to low-cost or no-cost strategies, or to efforts already underway?
Which issues are most ripe for action?
