successful aging

In order to create healthy communities with healthy citizens, we must all do our part, as individuals and as members of organized groups, to demonstrate a strong commitment to the importance of taking care of our own personal health - body, mind and spirit - as well as helping our family members and neighbors. These health efforts must be coordinated with local, regional, and state Public Health planning and services.

We pledge to:
• Provide effective and efficient public health services
• Increase physical activity
• Improve nutrition
• Prevent and eliminate tobacco use
• Promote a drug-free community and responsible use of alcohol
• Promote healthy lifestyle choices to prevent and reduce chronic disease
• Create caring communities free from all types of violence
•To promote a healthy environment and energy efficiency
