Do you know someone or an organization who deserves to be celebrated for their efforts in improving the health of the Fairfax community? The Partnership for a Healthier Fairfax seeks nominations for its 2026 Live Healthy Fairfax Award. This award recognizes individuals, businesses, agencies, and organizations that have demonstrated outstanding leadership and action to improve the health and well-being of the Fairfax community.  

The Live Healthy Fairfax Award recognizes those who go “above and beyond” in three priority areas:

• Promoting Behavioral Health: Promoting social and emotional wellness for all.
• Healthy Eating (Fairfax Food Council): Promoting the accessibility, availability, and affordability of healthy eating for all.
• Healthy Environment and Active Living: Improving the community environment to support active living and good health for all.

The Partnership for a Healthier Fairfax is looking for all kinds of nominations. This could include people who volunteer to lead health-related activities, businesses that help their employees and customers stay healthy, or organizations that address social determinants of health. It could also recognize efforts that improve community health in lasting and meaningful ways.
