Community Wellness AwardsCall for NominationsCommunity Wellness Champions are people of all ages who are making a positive difference for themselves and others in the communities where they live and work. They share a commitment to their personal health and the health of their communities. Some make a difference by leading or organizing activities, programs or events. Their knowledge, skills, and experience are valuable tools to help families and communities move towards a healthier future. Others make a difference simply by setting a good example – by taking care of themselves physically, mentally and spiritually and sharing that healthy lifestyle with others.
