Last spring, a local community initiative was launched: Woodbury THRIVES. The grassroots efforts, led by the Woodbury Community Foundation (WCF), city of Woodbury, Washington County, the Woodbury Area Chamber of Commerce and HealthEast, aim to improve the health of residents—physical health, spiritual and emotional well-being, and financial, environmental, intellectual, occupational and social wellness.
“This past summer, Woodbury THRIVES hosted more than 25 community conversations about health and wellness,” says Jodi Ritacca, communications, WCF. “Over 500 participants representing a full cross-section of the community came together to discuss what defines a healthy community and to make recommendations on ways to create an even healthier community.”
The Woodbury THRIVES leadership team is developing an action plan based on the community input along with other data. They expect to make a report to the community later this fall.
