Why are you involved in Together! Healthy Knox? “The health of our community is integral to the success of our economy, environment and neighborhoods. As both a member of the community and a public servant, I can’t stress enough the interconnectivity between how we recruit new jobs, teach our children, build our neighborhoods and ultimately improve the quality of life of everyone. I am involved to help communicate the relationship between the health of our community and the built environment in which we all live, worship, work, and recreate.”
*Together! Healthy Knox uses Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnerships (MAPP), a model developed by the National Association of County and City Health Officials (NACCHO), for a planned approach to improve health and quality of life.
