Let’s Get Moving!
Since 2003, Emspace has been involved with wellness initiatives in our community, most notably Activate Omaha, which promotes the benefits of daily physical activity. As a non-profit organization, Activate Omaha has enjoyed some years of adequate funding–and some years with less. But throughout, we’ve continued to be inspired by the dedication, tenacity and insight of our partners at Activate Omaha/Live Well Omaha and the Douglas County Heath Department.
Today we celebrated a grant of $5.7 millions dollars awarded to Douglas County by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Communities Putting Prevention to Work initiative. This national initiative supports public health efforts to reduce obesity, increase physical activity, improve nutrition, and decrease smoking—four critical actions for combating chronic diseases and promoting health.
Emspace is delighted to be a partner in this initiative. Over the next two years, we will be focusing on three areas: a continuation of our efforts to encourage daily physical activity through local workplace messaging; promoting the availability of healthy food alternatives in select corner stores; and educating drivers and cyclists on safe ways to share the road.
Congratulations to our friends who worked so hard to secure the funding to help make our community a healthier one. We can’t wait to get moving!
