Partnership for a Healthier Fairfax Spring 2022 Meeting
May 12, 2022: This year's theme was Food Equity: Lifting the Community Voice. Community voice is a foundational part of striving towards equity – in our food system and throughout all parts of our community.
The program also included presentation of the Live Healthy Fairfax Awards program, established this year, which recognized three community members who’s commitment to health and wellness initiatives went “above and beyond” in the areas of Behavioral Health, Healthy Eating, and Healthy Environment and Active Living. Congratulations to Healthy Eating/Fairfax Food Council awardee, Cory Suter! Read more about this.
