Community Health Improvement Partnership

Residents from towns/cities in Bergen County are invited to join the Fourth Annual Wellness Challenge which will kick start the Spring season.

The Challenge is sponsored by our Nutrition and Physical Activity Task Force and local health officers. The Challenges align with the Mayors Wellness Campaigns and offer free and reduced-cost fitness and wellness education opportunities that support positive changes in diet, exercise, and overall health. 

This training provides facilitators with the ability to inspire girls and women who participate in our programs to:

• Value who they are internally over their external appearance 
• Be empowered to change the conversation from criticism to kindness 
• Stop comparing themselves to a false idea of beauty and to others 
•  Find inspiration to embrace their purpose in the world 

The training is a 15-hour weekend certification for self-empowered women who feel inspired to provide Embody Love Movement® workshops in their communities.

The Community Health Needs Assessment is a systematic, data-driven approach to determining the health status, behaviors and needs of residents in Bergen County. Subsequently, this information may be used to inform decisions and guide efforts to improve community health and wellness.

A Community Health Needs Assessment provides information so that communities may identify issues of greatest concern and decide to commit resources to those areas, thereby making the greatest possible impact on community health status.
