What: Jersey City has been selected to receive an additional $10,000 as part of the Healthiest Cities & Counties Challenge Spotlight Award. Ten winners and five honorable mentions were chosen for the Spotlight for their ability to address the need to improve opportunities for all Americans – regardless of income, education or ethnic background – to take an active role in healthy living.
The award is part of the Healthiest Cities & Counties Challenge, an initiative launched in 2016 by the Aetna Foundation, along with the American Public Health Association (APHA) and the National Association of Counties (NACo), empowering 50 small-to-midsize cities and counties to implement innovative solutions for their local public health issues. The 15 cities and counties are tackling community-specific health disparities head-on and developing practical, evidence-based strategies to improve health conditions and promote healthy living.
