Welcome to the St. Clair County
“Get Up & Go” resource site.
We hope you’ve landed here on purpose. If not, we hope we can convince you to look around; explore our pages, and consider joining the growing number of communities, organizations and groups in St. Clair County committing themselves to encouraging healthy lifestyles among their members.
The purpose for this site is simple and we can state it in three ways:
- To promote a campaign that challenges communities, groups and organizations in St. Clair County to participate in activities that improve health and fitness;
- To provide suggested activities, ideas and support to get started and to keep going.
- To get communities involved so that we can recognize our mutual efforts and motivate others to come along.
We call this campaign “Get Up & Go” because that’s exactly what we want you to do! Get up…and do something healthy! But not just you; we want you to bring your family along; or your neighborhood, your school, your church group, your reading club, your scout troop, your place of business…you get the idea. And for those of you who really have a sense of vision…maybe even your own town!
Every January, so many of us, as individuals, resolve to lose weight, to give up smoking, to eat healthier, to manage our stress, to get regular check-ups. Some of us make personal improvements in these areas. Some of us get stuck. Some of us seem only to get further behind. Here’s a concept! Why not work together for your health?
Instead of losing 10 pounds this year, why not start a movement in your church to encourage its members to lose a total of 500 pounds. Instead of walking two miles a day on that new walking path, you know, the one that you have to drive 6 miles to get to; why not start a campaign in your own community to build one? And when it’s built, challenge your neighbors to get outside and walk a collective 200 miles over the next 30 days.
Wouldn’t it be great if we could create a spirit of community connectedness among the various groups, organizations and towns of St. Clair County that is dedicated to helping its members become healthier? The members of the St. Clair County Health Care Commission and the
Willard C. Scrivner, MD Public Health Foundation think so, and that’s why this site was created.
