Mayors Wellness Campaign
New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute’s Mayors Wellness Campaign (MWC) is a statewide community health initiative in partnership with the New Jersey State League of Municipalities.
The MWC is a program that gives mayors tools and strategies to champion healthy and active living and to improve the overall health of their communities. When mayors promote healthy living they can drive communitywide change.
As part of the MWC, Verona will work to promote health in the following domains: Youth; Seniors; Employees; and, Community .
Verona has created a Wellness Committee to plan and implement programs that aim to promote health and wellness throughout town. The team is made of up Municipal Employees including Police & Fire personnel, Local Business Owners, Health & Wellness Professionals and Residents. We are currently looking to add more interested members. If you are interested in volunteering with Verona's newest committee please email Steven Neale at stneale@veronanj.org.
Please check back frequently as this is a new committee and more information will be added as we grow!
