Fit Community Champions



Town of Chapel Hill — 2006-2009 Fit Community
Mayor Pro-Tem Bill Strom, Town of Chapel Hill

Access to physical activity is the hallmark of any healthy community, and Chapel Hill is working to give its citizens every opportunity to be active. The Town, in partnership with Go! Chapel Hill Active Living by Design, Chapel Hill-Carrboro City Schools and some of the largest employers in the area are all working toward promoting physical activity and making opportunities for physical activity more accessible.

Additionally, health and healthcare are centerpieces of the municipality’s economy so Chapel Hill and its many residents are health-conscious and proactive regarding healthy eating issues.  The Chapel-Hill Carrboro City School District offers only the most healthy and nutritious foods in its schools, and throughout the community, the Winner’s Circle program has made a strong impact in the public’s recognition of healthy choices.
