Invitation to Participate in the Pioneering Healthy Communities Initiative

Invitation to Participate in the Pioneering Healthy Communities Initiative

A grant was received this year for the YMCA of Marion & Polk Counties Pioneering Healthy Communities Initiative. 

Neighborhoods are invited to the next Pioneering Healthier Communities meeting on December 4, from 3 to 4:30 pm at the YMCA, 685 Court St NE.  This meeting will be discussing what has been learned and where the information is leading.

Two goals have been decided on for our projects.  One is nutrition based and the other is physical activity based. The goals are broad statements and there are objectives for each goal.  More information will be sent out around both subjects soon.

Please consider helping move this initiative forward by joining a subcommittee.  For more information, please contact Janice Naimy, Community Wellness Director, Family YMCA of Marion & Polk Counties, at 503-581-9622 or 503-588-4302.
