Jackson County Health Department - Moovin' and Groovin' to Change Lives

Jackson County Health Department - Moovin' and Groovin' to Change Lives Jackson County Moovin' and Groovin' was created by the Jackson County Health Department to encourage more physical activity and better health.

Most activities on the page are free. The Jackson County Medical Reserve Corp is developing a healthy walking program through grant funding and collaboration with community partners. The group’s mission is to encourage people to start Movin’ and Groovin’ to improve their health. This program is open to people of all ability levels: people with limited mobility; children’s group; mothers with strol

lers; senior citizens; and marathon runners. Everyone is welcome and the program is designed with everyone in mind. Program participants must register so they will receive event information, discount coupons, awards and much more. After registering, participants choose a team or indicate they will walk alone. Then they start walking, tracking time, steps or miles. For those who would like to utilize a pedometer to track steps, one will be provided. Participants will be given a weekly walking chart to set goals and track progress. The walking chart will be submitted weekly and used to provide information back to the Jackson County Medical Reserve Corp. The next step is to attend educational presentations. Starting June 1, the program will include presentations on topics such as high blood pressure and diabetes. Presentations will continue for two months.
