Health
Improvement Committee
The
Health Improvement Committee is focusing on promoting new
attitudes towards health and well being which influence behavior
and result in a healthy community. The focus of the committee
will be on promoting healthy lifestyles in Genesee County,
such as reducing sedentary lifestyles and smoking. Goals include
to form a working partnership with the Smoke-Free Multi-Agency
Resource Team (SMART) Coalition to work on smoking cessation
in Genesee County and to continue to monitor and promote programs
that reduce sedentary lifestyles in Genesee County.
The
Health Improvement Committee has sponsored three campaigns
that directly attack Michigan residents' sedentary lifestyles:
"Just a Bit Gets You Fit", "Just a Bit Gets YouTH Fit", and
"Just a Bit Gets YouTH Fit: Eat Good. Feel Good. Look Good".
In 2000, the Coalition won the Governor's Council on Physical
Fitness, Health & Sports Getting Michigan Communities Moving
Educational Materials of the Year Award for "Just a Bit Gets
You Fit".
