Borough of Bradley Beach Mayor Larry Fox announced today that he will commit to improving the health and wellness of Bradley Beach by signing the Mayors Wellness Campaign (MWC) Annual Pledge of Participation and announcing wellness activities that local residents can attend this year. The partnership between Bradley Beach and the MWC will begin an effort to encourage the local community to get on the path to active living and healthier lifestyles.
The MWC is an initiative of the New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute in partnership with the New Jersey State League of Municipalities. One of the main goals of the MWC is to improve the overall health and wellness of New Jersey communities. Through public-private partnerships, the MWC provides structure and evidence-based resources for community health initiatives. By encouraging mayors to play a leadership role in supporting opportunities for active and healthy lifestyles and incorporating the social determinants of health into all policies, New Jersey is becoming a national leader in community-based health interventions.
“We are launching the Mayor’s Wellness Campaign to engage the community, provide access to quality wellness events and promote sustainable and healthy lifestyles.”, said Mayor Fox. “From community walks to awareness events, we will work together to ensure residents are living an active, healthy lifestyle. Bradley Beach is committed to developing, implementing and encouraging active and healthy living within our community. Our Mayor’s Wellness Committee has been working to expand our outreach to the community planning walks, events and more to promote healthy living. I have seen the positive impact that the Mayor’s Wellness Campaign can have on a community and I am excited to commit to working to improve the health of our special beach town.”
Bradley Beach will kick off their MWC with a Mayor’s Wellness Walk on Sunday, November 21st on the Bradley Beach boardwalk. To register for the walk or for more information about the campaign please visit https://www.bradleybeachnj.gov/mayors-wellness-campaign
