From an acorn of an idea to bring all of our health care providers together to come up with one area we could all work on collaboratively, to the finished product where we have over 60 organizations involved in helping our residents make healthy choices in diet, exercise and lifestyle. The Year of Wellness has accomplished much over the past 12 months.
We have a monthly newsletter promoting free and low-cost events, which represent interests of all ages and ethnicities, and include all areas of health. For example, the September newsletter highlighted: “Light Up the Darkness” suicide awareness; “Taking Charge of Diabetes” event; square dance classes; food preservation classes; parenting classes; Master Recycler program; Red Cross “Prepare Out Loud” event; farmers markets; and a “Walk of Faith” fundraiser.
