Empowering Healthy Lives
Good health is essential for individual success and a thriving community. Healthy kids are more likely to succeed in school. Healthy adults are more productive at work. The whole community will flourish when all our residents have access to safe physical activity, healthy foods and quality health care.
WHAT WE DO
Access to Health Care
– Creating and increasing access to medical care, dental care and mental health services.
– Receiving necessary prescriptions, health aids, hearing aids or eyeglasses.
Healthy Living
– Creating and increasing healthy eating and physical opportunities.
– Increasing healthy habits and changing lifestyles.
– Providing a safe home and community.
