One of the top five priorities of the Bexar County Community Health Improvement Plan is to promote Healthy Eating and Active Living. Increasing the availability of healthier food options, meeting with county officials to promote strategies in the Active Living Plan, promoting the adoption of Safe Routes to School programs, and promoting policies to support infrastructure for pedestrians and cyclists, are all examples of policy recommendations featured in the plan.
This plan was organized by the Bexar County Community Health Collaborative and the City of San Antonio Metropolitan Health District in an effort to serve as a framework for creating a healthier county. Recommendations for partnerships, and ways to take on an active role, to improve the health of the community are also included in this plan.
In order to get involved the plan suggests that organizations adopt the plan’s recommendations, join a group working to improve the health of the community, or contribute funds towards the development and implementation of the plan.
