During the Lawrence City Commission meeting on Tuesday, December 3, commissioners will receive a presentation of the Roadmap to a Healthier Douglas County: 2013-2018 Douglas County Community Health Plan.
LiveWell was involved in the development and implementation of two of the five priority areas of the plan: access to healthy foods and improving rates of physical activity. The Roadmap also addresses mental health, access to health services and addressing poverty and lack of jobs.
The following members of the Community Health Plan Steering Committee will make the presentation:

The plan has been adopted by the Douglas County Commission and Eudora City Commission. The plan will also be considered by the Baldwin City Council tonight. Lecompton council members are expected to consider the plan at their meeting on December 16.
