event

The National
League of Cities Institute for Youth, Education, and Families recently
highlighted the City of Chester and its Bureau of Health for their efforts to better
serve community health concerns. Following the adoption of First Lady
Michelle Obama’s ‘Let’s Move!’ campaign by Hon. Mayor John Linder and Chester City
Council, Chester Bureau of Health Commissioner Ieasa Nichols and
Community Health Education Director, Rosetta Carter, set about creating programs
designed to meet the goals of the ‘Let’s Move!’ initiative. Through program
implementation and community participation and support, including Widener
University, White House Strong Cities Strong Communities (SC2), Crozer-Keystone,
and others, Chester earned bronze and silver awards in two goals of the
initiative. Public Safety Director, Councilman William ‘Al’ Jacobs stated, “We
could not be prouder of our residents, especially our children, for taking their
healthy futures into their own hands and creating change through
commitment.
The success of our city depends on the health of our citizens and the bureau
is passionate about both.”
