I was not even aware of this happening until I received an email about the awards. Apparently if you live east of the Mississippi River, there are places that want you to be healthy. St. Paul is the western most place give an award. Rather than duplicate this, I will let you read the press release here.
If you live in or near the award winners, check them out and see what they are doing for the health of the areas. As HHS Secretary Sebelius Kathleen states, “The 2011 Healthy Living Innovation Awards represented an exciting chance to foster the spread of effective, community-based efforts that employ innovative approaches to promote healthy weight, physical activity and nutrition,” said Secretary Sebelius. “Communities across the United States submitted creative, replicable and sustainable innovations that demonstrate outstanding leadership and promising results.”
Enjoy!
