The Massachusetts Governor's
Committee on Physical Fitness & Sports (MGCPFS) created the Every Body
Move campaign in May of 2005 as an ongoing initiative to get
Massachusetts residents "moving". Every Body Move was designed to
motivate and inspire citizens of the Commonwealth to live a healthier
lifestyle by highlighting everyday activities that can enhance their
overall health and well-being. The goal is to educate children about the
benefits of being physically fit and encourage participation in
activities that are fun and provide them with positive results. St. Vincent's Home at 2425 Highland Avenue,
received a $7,500 grant and has put
together a wellness program for their youth served. An open house on July
31, 2007, introduced staff to the new facility housed in the basement of
Cottage 4. For more information about the program, contact
Paul Michael at
