Want to learn more about
healthy nutrition and exercise opportunities available in
Central New York? fitCNY
is for you! Here's a list of places to get local produce (in
season), after-school programs for your kids, exercise and
fitness programs for children, adults, and seniors, and health
information Web sites to help you maintain healthy weight
and physical fitness. These resources have been compiled by
health and nutrition educators from the eight counties in
Central New York. Many of them are low cost or free.
fitCNY
is a project of the Commission for a Healthy Central New York,
a coalition made up of representatives from Syracuse University,
SUNY Upstate Medical University, and the county health departments
of Cayuga, Cortland, Herkimer, Madison, Oneida, Onondaga,
Oswego, and Tompkins Counties.
The Commission is concentrating
on four health areas: dental health, mental health, stroke,
and obesity/overweight. The
fitCNY Web site is designed to promote healthy weight
by posting news about nutrition and exercise resources in
the eight counties served by the Commission, along with local
and national health information Web sites. Users are encouraged
to notify fitCNY
about other resources that should be added to the Web site.
