How is HEAL Schuyler working to accomplish this goal?
HEAL Schuyler is supporting environmental changes that promote healthier eating and active lives for the people 
of Schuyler County.

HEAL Schuyler first started in 2011, which focused on Physical Activity and Nutrition. By 2012-2013, the group had organized a mission and a vision statement. The mission statement was “By January 2015, to reduce the rate of obesity in Schuyler county by 10%  through promotion of healthy eating and active lifestyles.” The vision statement was, “HEAL Schuyler will accomplish its mission through increased awareness, motivation, community collaborations and facilitating environmental changes for families to promote healthy choices and lifestyles.”  In 2013, the group came up with the name HEAL Schuyler Obesity Group and did an assessment of the stakeholders and the community. By the end of 2013, HEAL Schuyler mission and vision was incorporated into the 2013-2016 Community Health Improvement Plan and Community Service Plan, which gave HEAL Schuyler a 3 year work plan and additional support from the community.
