Our Vision for the Healthy Life Initiative
The vision for PacificSource Healthy Life is to help create healthier communities by:
- Facilitating the adoption and maintenance of positive health behaviors
- Driving the level of engagement in health and wellness programs, such as physical activity, healthy eating, tobacco cessation and stress management, that are aimed at impacting population health.
Our Commitment
PacificSource Healthy Life has committed $4 million in funding between now and 2016 toward a community health initiative for Oregonians. In partnership with the University of Oregon and Oregon State University, PacificSource will fund wellness research, healthy campus initiatives, and a Civil War Series sponsorship as a platform for community outreach.
Civil War Series
PacificSource is the proud sponsor of the University of Oregon and Oregon State University Civil War Series through 2015. The Civil War sponsorship provides a platform to promote the Healthy Life Challenge to people at both Universities and within our communities. Read more about the partnership.

Healthy Life Challenge
The PacificSource Healthy Life Challenge will focus on these modifiable risk factors: physical activity, healthy eating, stress management, and tobacco cessation.
Our aim is to provide Healthy Life Challenges tools that are easy to use, allow users to track their progress, are customizable based on need/interest, offer advice, and are educational. Healthy Life Challenge campaigns will also support and reinforce community health efforts that aim to improve the overall health of our communities.
