The Partnership for a Healthier Carroll County wants residents to know about the many free and low-cost health programs, classes, farmers markets, and other healthy resources available in our area. Chronic Disease Prevention & Intervention Leadership Team members have created an online directory called Local Links to Health that lists resources to help county residents stay healthy, as well as prevent and manage chronic conditions such as heart disease, diabetes, and cancer.
The Chronic Disease Prevention & Intervention Leadership Team also coordinates Walk Carroll, a free community-wide walking challenge for all ages. Walk Carroll encourages county residents to log walking and exercise miles, with free events, giveaways, and walking clubs.
To quickly find information about local resources for a healthy lifestyle, visit Local Links to Health on HealthyCarroll.org. Local Links can be found under "Headlines," and is also featured on the Prevention & Intervention page. For more information about Walk Carroll, visit http://www.healthycarroll.org/prevention-intervention/walk-carroll/.
