The Challenge is sponsored by the Community Health Improvement Partnership’s 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. The Challenge varies from town to town with some offering weekly weigh-ins and others offering walking programs.

 

The programs are supported through partnerships of some local health departments, The Valley Hospital, Holy Name Medical Center, town councils, fitness centers, supermarkets, YMCAs, community organizations and other local businesses and will run for 8-12 weeks.

 

This campaign supports positive changes in diet, exercise, and overall health. For general information contact Marla Klein at mklein@co.bergen.nj.us
