“The Crossville / Cumberland County Healthier TN Community continues to make meaningful, and measureable strides in the three core initiatives of the HT program, become more active, make healthier food choices, and to cut out ALL tobacco products including e-cigarettes. Also a the highlight of the evening was when Kathy Hamby, Cumberland County School Nutrition Supervisor was named the Wellness Champion of the Year for the State of Tennessee. We are very fortunate having Kathy on our HT Committee, the work that Kathy and her staff have made on the health of our school children is invaluable”, stated Billy Loggins of the Healthier Committee.
Healthier Tennessee Communitiesä is a signature Governor’s Foundation initiative that encourages cities, towns, counties, neighborhoods, and college campuses across Tennessee to implement sustainable, localized initiatives to improve nutrition, increase physical activity, and encourage tobacco cessation.
More than 200 elected officials, community leaders, and Healthier Tennessee Community committee members from across Tennessee attended the awards gala, which took place at Graystone Quarry in Franklin.
In addition to awarding 33 communities with a gold, silver, or bronze designation, the event also honored innovative initiatives and individual achievements.
