November Newsletter

Hey, Savannah! We hope you had a fantastic October!

We had a wonderful month connecting with our partners at our Steering Committee and Savannah-Chatham Food Policy Council meetings. We also enjoyed participating in several community events, including the YMCA Fall Festival and the City of Savannah’s Women's Wellness Event.

November is Diabetes Awareness Month! As we recognize the importance of diabetes prevention and awareness, we encourage you to take advantage of the cooler fall weather and join us for a Healthy Walk. Regular physical activity plays an important role in preventing chronic diseases and supporting overall health.

We meet at different locations every Tuesday at 7:30 a.m. and on the third Saturday of each month at 8:30 a.m. Come walk with us! Find our Healthy Walk schedule here.

Active People, Healthy Savannah

We have joined other local and national organizations in supporting the Moving Matters Campaign, part of the Active People, Healthy Nation℠ Initiative. Taking care of yourself is one of the most important things you can do for you and your family. One way to do that is to get regular physical activity. Start your fitness journey with us on our weekly healthy walks! Check out this month's schedule below.

Sponsor Highlight

In recognition of Diabetes Awareness Month, Healthy Savannah would like to highlight and thank our sponsor, Memorial Health, for its continued support of community health and well-being. Diabetes is a significant public health concern, affecting individuals and families across our communities. Raising awareness about prevention, early detection, and access to quality healthcare is essential to reducing the impact of diabetes. Through partnerships with organizations like Memorial Health, we can continue working toward healthier communities where everyone has the opportunity to live a healthier life.

We are grateful for Memorial Health's partnership and commitment to supporting the health of our community!
