The Healthy City
Design Team held its annual review on December 15, 2011 of the
2010-2014 Goals and Objectives and celebration of progress moving
health promotion and prevention efforts forward for another year in Fall
River. School Wellness Coordinator Marcia Picard led off with a
review of the progress within the schools. Her report was followed by
a summary of tobacco control efforts by Tobacco
Control coordinator Marilyn Edge and a report by Mass
In Motion coordinator Julianne Kelly on new park development and
potential bicycle paths, as well as giving a notice of an upcoming meeting on
the
Groundwork project.
Community garden coordinator Nicole Fortier described the five new
gardens, and Annemarie Sharkey summarized the progress in
farmers'
markets. Jamison Souza reported on last year's
Fitness
Challenge and plans for the coming year, and Christian McCloskey and
Wendy Garf-Lipp described the efforts of the
Shannon Grant to ensure a
safe and
peaceful community for youth. Dr. Weed wrapped up the meeting by
filling in reports of programs on
substance abuse,
worksite wellness,
cardiovascular health
and
cancer control. Click
