NEW JERSEY HEALTHY TOWN APPLICATION IS OPEN!

Become a MWC Healthy Town. A Healthy Town designation is a great honor for towns, achieved through a competitive process. The annual Healthy Town designation recognizes communities in which mayors have made healthy lifestyles a top priority and are actively engaging all members of their community through inclusive, evidence-based health and wellness programming, policies, and a culture of health. We encourage all towns to review the rubric below to better understand how a successful MWC program is defined.

  For a deep dive of the application, strategies for a successful submission and opportunity to ask questions, watch the webinar below.
