Options for Action Gets a Pinterest-like Look

If you’ve ever used Options for Action on the ESMMSC website, you know the value of the resources listed on the page, but you also know the settings, or topics, were limited.

Options for Action is a clearinghouse of state and national resources that anyone can use to benefit coalition work. It was created in 2010 with the help of SC DHEC to provide one place for public health coalitions and partners to find strategies, best practices, and promising practices for implementing policy, systems, and environmental change related to healthy eating and active living.
