Volunteers from Bartlett are meeting monthly as the Wellness Council and working toward goals that support the name of their initiative: Healthier Bartlett. They are supporting the project being conducted by the 2018 Leadership Bartlett class, getting the city designated as a Healthier Tennessee community. Healthier Tennessee communities work to increase physical activity and healthy eating habits and decrease tobacco use. Among other components of the Bartlett volunteers’ work, they are encouraging local businesses and churches to start fitness programs. For more information, visit healthiertn.com/communities.
