National Wellness Week

Visit the Park Ridge Library or visit www.healthybergen.org/wellness to learn about all the aspects of health: body, emotions, knowledge, environment, work, finances, beliefs and connection.

For general information about flu and clinical health matters, visit www.bergenhealth.org.

National Wellness Week is held during the third week of September (September 11-17 in 2016) and shares the message that practicing wellness provides an essential foundation for good health. Since the founding of National Wellness Week in 2011, at least 300 organizations in 46 states, Puerto Rico, and Guam have celebrated wellness with more than 700 wellness-related events and activities.

Access National Wellness Week resources to help your community plan activities and events.

Attention: BERGEN COUNTY LIBRARIES, encourage people of all ages to eat more fruits and veggies! E-mail us a photo or a description of what you, or a group that meets at your library, did to encourage people to add more fruits and veggies to their diet. Maybe you’ll design a book display or bulletin board; perhaps a youth group will create a fruit and veggie bookmark or video…. We’re eager to see how creative you can be!! If selected as a winner an Inserra ShopRite Registered Dietitian will come to your library to present a healthy cooking demonstration. To submit a contest entry, email Marla Klein at mklein@co.bergen.nj.us by March 25, 2016. Questions, call 201-634-2693. View Flyer »
