We will work with area businesses, schools, government, and community leaders to help implement policies and/or make environmental improvements that result in the following:
- A greater number of children will walk or bike to and from Sunnyside School.
- More Red Wing businesses will adopt wellness policies that will improve employee health and productivity and reduce health-care costs.
- Burnside School will increase its students’ physical activity throughout the day so children will focus better in the classroom.
- Hiking, walking, and biking trails in natural areas and throughout neighborhoods will be mapped, improved, and publicized so more people can utilize them.
- Daily exercise opportunities will be more available and accessible to groups with higher levels of diabetes 2 and obesity.
