Site Focused Committees

The Healthy Hometown Schools committee works collectively to promote and sustain healthy lifestyle choices in all Louisville Metro/Jefferson County Schools through school and community-based health education programs and policies for students, their families, faculty and staff. The Schools Committee envisions all schools in Louisville Metro/Jefferson County will serve as leaders and empower students, their families, faculty and staff to make a lifelong commitment to health and wellness.

The Mayor’s Healthy Hometown Worksite Wellness Committee (WWC) assists employers in Metro Louisville in promoting the health of their employees via worksite wellness programs. The committee works with public and private employers to provide training seminars and small conferences periodically throughout the year, including a series of small, dialogue-driven “roundtable” discussions, based directly on feedback from the annual Worksite Wellness Awards Conference.
