Community Vision/Mission

Montgomery County’s original proposal was to increase access to fresh fruits and vegetables.  However, after conducting the CHANGE tool, a variety of needs were identified.  In addition to the original goal, the Community Health Action Response Team (CHART) plans to take a holistic approach to worksites and address smoking cessation, access to fresh fruits and vegetables, and physical activity.  The goal is to implement policy and systemic changes at a minimum of three worksites and two communities.
