Wellness Coalition Teams up with the River Region for Healthier Living

The Wellness Coalition and the River Region Obesity Task Force are focusing on the community.

They looked at the numbers and saw that people from Montgomery, Lowndes, and Macon Counties in Alabama were unhealthy and most of those people were coming from minority communities.

This made the group reach out to the faith base community to get ministers involved and start encouraging the membership to actually go out and do health ministries.

One goal of the program is to encourage ministry leaders to start health ministries within their churches, so they can encourage healthier living and healthier lifestyles from the pulpit.
