All people in Franklin County are living healthy, active lifestyles and have equitable access to nutritious foods and physical activity opportunities.

Why Is This Important?

Good nutrition and physical activity play an important role in the overall health and well-being of individuals. Together, exercise and eating well can prevent the development of serious chronic diseases such as heart disease, cancer, diabetes, and stroke. Also, physical activity has a positive impact on mental health conditions like depression and anxiety.

If we are successful in achieving this result, we anticipate a Franklin County where:

Every citizen has a safe place to be physically active like community centers or parks
Healthy, nutritious foods are accessible to all citizens
Supportive services that educate and address the benefits of exercise and nutrition are available to all
