Healthy Monday is a non-profit public health program for students, staff, and faculty founded in 2005 in association with Johns Hopkins University, Columbia University, and Syracuse University.
The goal is to end chronic preventable disease in the United States by offering a weekly prompt to start and sustain healthy behaviors, intentions, actions and initiatives.
Program Philosophy: Why Monday?
For most Americans, the week begins on Monday. On Monday we move from the freedom of the weekend to the structure of work or school. We set our intentions for the next six days, plan ahead, and evaluate progress. From an early age we internalize this rhythm, and studies suggest that we are more likely to maintain behaviors throughout the week if we begin on Monday. That makes Monday the perfect day to make a change for your health and the health of our planet.
