Welcome
to HealthyBR!
Baton Rouge's initiative to promote healthy eating
and active living across our city. The U.S. Conference of Mayors launched The Mayors'
Healthy Cities Initiative in response to America's
growing obesity problem
and its relationship to chronic diseases which may be prevented or
lessened through regular exercise and healthy eating. I was eager for Baton
Rouge to participate in this effort by promoting both
the benefits of a healthy
lifestyle and the helpful resources available to you in our
community.
On this
website, you will find information, links and events coordinated
and planned by our city's leading advocates of health, nutrition and fitness who are
working with me to make Baton Rouge a healthier
community.
I hope you will take a minute to learn more
about how you and your family can easily lead a more
healthy lifestyle and enjoy good
health throughout your lives. Watch for the Healthy BR seal in our
community for information,
programs and activities aimed at making Baton Rouge a healthy
city.
Wishing you good health,
Mayor-President Melvin L. "Kip"
Holden
