CHHC Pilots Best Bones Forever!

Ulster County will serve as a pilot site for a national adolescent bone health campaign by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office on Women’s Health.

The Community Heart Health Coalition of Ulster County was formed to promote heart disease prevention through physical activity and nutrition initiatives.

Here are a group of volunteers reclaiming an abandoned piece of the rail trail and making it walkable and user friendly for people with disabilities. This project was made possible with funds from The Community Heart Health Coalition of Ulster County, the direction and coordination of Kingston Parks and Recreation and the help of volunteers.

As members of the coalition we are looking to increase the opportunities for our neighbors to choose healthier lifestyles through food selection and fitness opportunities.

As a community, working together we can combine resources to create programs and events, as well as supporting physical activity training and health education efforts.
