e promotion of the wellbeing and health of citizens is the municipality’s legislated task. The goal is to, for example, increase the wellbeing, health, and safety of citizens and reinforce their participation and communality.
Wellbeing and health are promoted widely in citizens’ everyday environments. The wellbeing of residents is connected to education, employment, exercise services, land use planning, greenspaces, recreational spaces, and many other tasks maintained by the city. The promotion of wellbeing and health is thus connected to all city operations. The city of Oulu cooperates with Pohde, organizations, residents, and other partners.
The responsible party in the city’s promotion of wellbeing and health is the Wellbeing, Culture, and Sport Committee (in Finnish).
