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.
