Clay County BeFit was identified by Elite Health Team as an action, that when combined with other actions, it has a reasonable chance of making a difference in physical activity, nutrition, and obesity as it relates to chronic diseases in our community. This is a new program in our community and is not an evidence-based strategy.

The clients for this health and fitness program are individuals who are struggling to become healthy or want to continue their journey of being healthy. The health and fitness program aims to make a difference at the individual level. Clients will join the Clay County BeFit page for helpful tips on eating healthy, exercises to do at home, and have an  in-person/virtual lunch and learn about how to improve their health and wellness. Implementation will take place at Clay County Health Department along with virtual classes through media outlets.

The partners for this health and fitness program include:

Clay County Health Department decided to post healthy information within their own facebook page instead of creating a new page. The decision to not create a new facebook page was the fact that many individuals would not follow a new page but would prefer to stay on the original one. To determine the performance on this strategy, we will measure how many individuals the healthy information reached.
