Framed by a solution oriented,
evidenced-based health message,
Live 5-2-1-0, the Healthy
Kids Initiative was launched in
December 2012. We are engaging
the community and leveraging the
wonderful organizations, services,
and programs already underway
in Chilliwack, to work towards a
future where the healthy choice, is
the easy choice for our children.
Working with our local doctors
through the Chilliwack Division
of Family Practice, and with
Chilliwack General Hospital and
Fraser Health Authority, we
are identifying priorities
and initiatives to enhance
patient care and services
at our local hospital. Recent
donations include the purchase
of equipment for the Primary
Care Seniors Clinic located in
Chilliwack General Hospital.
Our goal is that the citizens of
Chilliwack to Boston Bar are
inspired, educated and engaged
in taking responsibility for their
own health and the health of
their communities. By working with
businesses and organizations, we
strive to make the healthy choice, the
easy choice, for everyone.
In an age-friendly community seniors are
supported to live healthy, active,
socially engaged, independent
lives. We recognize that
seniors are valuable assets to
our communities and want to
ensure that they are inspired to
do so. To accomplish this we are
engaging with seniors and with
organizations that work with
seniors to identify priorities
and initiatives.
