Healthy Hometown - Collaboration between Wellmark and CCSD
Wellmark and the Healthiest State Initiative are working to make Iowa the healthiest state in the nation and enhance the well-being of Iowa residents. Whether it’s planting community gardens, making your town more walkable, or volunteering, Healthy Hometown is here to help. What can CCSD students do? Healthy Hometown has three paths communities can follow to make improvements: eat well, move more, feel better. Improvements can be made in a number of places: schools, worksites, community organizations, etc. Healthy Hometown continues to use proven strategies to help communities change the environment to make healthy choices easier in Iowa.
