About us

A different kind
of health foundation.

We started ProVention to close the gap between what we know keeps people well and what actually happens in daily life. Partnerships, proven programs, and modern technology make prevention the norm, not the exception.

Our mission

Spark new ideas in public health.

We're a Georgia nonprofit. We work with state agencies, employers, doctors, and community groups to stop long-term illness. Our work focuses on daily habits, like food, movement, sleep, and stress, that drive most of our health and most of our costs.

We believe prevention is a public good. So we build programs that are easy to afford, fit different cultures, and show real results that boards and funders can trust.

Habits are where health is won.

How we work

Three ideas behind everything we build.

Simple principles, applied the same way to every program we run.

01

Building partnerships

We bring public groups, private companies, doctors, and community groups together around one goal: prevention. No one group can do it alone.

02

Making real change

We focus on programs that actually change habits and improve health, not on numbers that look good but don't help anyone.

03

Using technology

HALT360 lets us run our proven programs for whole communities, on any device, with reports your team can actually use.
