Montclair, 2019 Healthy Town
Montclair is receiving the Healthy Town designation for the second year in a row. The mission of Montclair’s MWC is to provide a wide variety of places, recreation, social and educational opportunities for residents to participate in that will have a positive impact on their physical and mental wellbeing. To achieve this mission, Montclair supported the following programming:
- Conversations of Your Life (COYL)— A community education program of the Quality Institute aimed at bringing end-of-life conversations to residents.
- Health programs at the Montclair Public Library — In response to a decline in participation in clinic screening attendance, programs were held in the library to engage more residents.
“Many thanks to the New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute for once again recognizing Montclair as a Mayor’s Wellness Campaign Healthy Town,” said Mayor Robert Jackson. “Our township departments and community partners continue providing a truly great variety of events and activities which promote healthy behaviors through sports and exercise options for all ages, access to healthful foods and nutrition information, newly-renovated parks and open spaces for outdoor recreation, organized events and celebrations, and numerous opportunities for community engagement — all designed to help improve the well-being of our residents.”
