1.)   What is Live Well Stark County?

Live Well Stark County is a group of leaders working together to make Stark County a healthier community through promoting policy and environmental changes that focus on chronic diseases such as: obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.
Plans include:
•         Improving worksite wellness

2.)   How are we making Stark County healthier?

We are assisting employers in the cities of Alliance, Canton, and North Canton to help them create a healthier worksite.   We are helping them create wellness committees and providing them with wellness kits which include a one-mile walking path diagram of inside or outside their facility.

We are working with restaurants in Stark County to assist them in offering healthier food items, smaller portion sizes, and helping them to calculate caloric information for their menus.
