Survey Can Improve Annual Meeting

Environmental Health Action Team

The Healthy St. Mary’s Partnership, supported by MedStar St. Mary’s Hospital, has begun to plan its second annual meeting, and is hoping that potential participants will find a few minutes to fill out a survey before the meeting.

The meeting is a way to help people in the region network, learn more about priorities in local health, and to get updates on businesses throughout the Health St. Mary’s Partnership coalition, which includes initiatives for several different aspects of wellness.

The first meeting was a great success and the survey, found here, will help staff plan the next event. Participants’ input will help the partnership create an effective, successful, and especially meaningful meeting.

The Healthy St. Mary’s Partnership is a coalition of people who are interested in increasing the health and well-being of all the citizens of St. Mary’s County. There are several teams with purposes that include healthier eating, active lifestyles, behavioral health, tobacco-free living, and access to care.

The teams meet regularly to discuss initiatives and progress.

Mental health and physical health are closely linked, and the Behavioral Health Action Team works to improve the outcome of behavioral health initiatives in the county.

Community organizations and residents come together to form the Healthy Eating and Active Living Action Team. This team works for local action around active living, healthy eating, and weight management. Members work on workplace wellness, exercise in school settings, and helping individuals make active living part of their lifestyles.

The Tobacco Free Living Action Team works to help people quit tobacco and focuses on positive outcomes. The members work on evidence-based strategies to support a tobacco-free life.

Many organizations and individuals work together in the Access to Care Action Team, looking at ways to make sure St. Mary’s County residents have access to the health care they need here in St. Mary’s County.

All of these organizations come together under the umbrella of the Healthy St. Mary’s Partnership.
