Partners Showcase

LiveWell Frederick is a partnership of businesses, faith-based groups, educators, community groups, and health organizations dedicated to achieving long-term health improvement. We’re focused on helping the Frederick County community adopt healthier lifestyle habits that benefit physical, mental, and emotional health.

“For me, being part of Livewell Frederick means working with other members of the community to encourage people to live healthier lives. It also means being able to connect with other people who think it is important to help people make healthier decisions in their work lives, which can often be overlooked!”

“At my office, we are finding ways to build in more movement! For me, that involves walking around my office during conference calls, taking stretching breaks during meetings, and enjoying snacks of fresh fruit (today it was a mango!)”

“I live 5210 in many ways at home! My husband and I are finding ways to include more fruit and vegetables in our lives. Our current favorites is fresh summer fruit for an evening snack. We have also been going with friends on double date hikes to get away from the screens and get moving! Finally, we have been enjoying unsweetened sparkling water, unsweetened tea, and fruit infused water rather than sweetened beverages!”

"We have already begun implementing 5210 in the workplace in a number of ways. Our childcare program serves better snacks and our biggest annual event, Healthy Kids Day, serves only healthy choices during this community event. And we’ve removed a lot of non-healthy food and beverage choices in our vending machines, just to name a few."

"I try to follow the 5210 program at least 80 % of the time. Since my job includes a lot of computer time, it's difficult to maintain a limited amount of screen time."

"5210 is important because it's what our society needs to turn the tables on unhealthy living. We should all be conscious of what we eat and how we spend our days. As adults, we are the examples for all children, youth, teens and young adults."
