The Coalition helped to bring employees from Miami University, City of Oxford, McCullough-Hyde Memorial Hospital and Talawanda School District together for a 4-Million Step Challenge. The challenge kicked off on National Walk Day – April 1, 2015. As a community, we walked a total of 14 million steps in one week!

Everyone is encouraged to take the pledge to “Step Up” for a healthier community!

Introducing “Rox” to the Oxford-Area! Rox was created by a 8th grade student at Talawanda Middle School as part of a contest to create a mascot to represent healthy choices in our community.

The Coalition for a Healthy Community – Oxford Area is fortunate to receive funding from Interact for Health to engage our community in sustainable health promotion in the priority area of Active Living. Through this exciting relationship with Interact for Health, the Coalition is seeking to engage the City of Oxford, Hanover Township, Reily Township, Mildford Township and Oxford Township in programs, practices and policies that encourage healthy living!
