The "Story Behind the Measure" helps us understand the causes and forces at work that explain the data behind the 'number of registered participants in the community wellness program' and the resources that Healthy Haywood plans to commit to address the health issue.  Healthy Haywood/Haywood Health and Human Services devotes staff time to the administration and promotion of the program.  

What's Helping What We Do? These are the positive forces at work in our community wellness program that influence how much we do or how well we do it.

• The program is available at no cost to participants.  
• The focus of challenges goes beyond physical activity, making them more accessible to those with physical limitations.  
• This is a unique program in the county.  

What's Hurting What We Do? These are the negative forces at work in our community wellness program that influence how much we do or how well we do it.

• Limited program enrollment
• Not all community members are aware of the program or of how it operates.
• Competing priorities in potential participants' schedules
