Scotch Plains Once Again Earns a "Healthy Town" Designation
Sunrise Yoga Saturdays. A thriving farmers market. Community runs and walks.
As a 2020 Mayors Wellness Campaign (MWC) “New Jersey Healthy Town” designee, Scotch Plains is being recognized for its innovative response to local needs created by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Scotch Plains is one of eight municipalities statewide named 2020 Healthy Towns as participants in the MWC, a program of the New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute, in partnership with the New Jersey State League of Municipalities. Another nine towns were designated as 2020 Healthy Towns to Watch, and five others were deemed as 2020 Healthy Town Up-and-Coming.
“One of Scotch Plain's greatest strengths is its ability to leverage community partnerships to provide a variety of programs to residents,” explained Mayor Josh Losardo, noting the township works closely with the Department of Parks and Recreation, Scotch Plains Business & Professional Association, local private and public schools, local fitness and nutrition professionals, and the Fanwood-Scotch Plains YMCA.
