Sean Koons hosts family summit to promote health awareness in community

The Washington County Commissioners Court convened on July 8, 2025, to discuss various community initiatives aimed at enhancing health and wellness among residents. The meeting highlighted several upcoming events and programs designed to engage families and promote healthy living.

One of the key topics was the introduction of a vision board activity, which has proven popular among participants. This initiative encourages individuals to reflect on their future goals over the next few years, fostering a sense of planning and aspiration.

Additionally, a parent family summit is being organized by Sean Koons and another community leader. This event aims to provide parents with valuable information on maintaining healthy practices within their households, coinciding with the back-to-school season. The summit is designed to be more than just a typical school preparation session, focusing instead on broader health topics.

The meeting also addressed an upcoming health fair at the senior center, organized in collaboration with Willie Dalworth. This event is part of a strategy to reach out to community members where they are, particularly targeting youth and seniors who may face challenges in attending events at traditional venues.

Furthermore, discussions included a proposal to integrate nutrition programs into physical education classes. This initiative, prompted by a meeting with PE teachers, aims to enhance students' understanding of healthy eating habits alongside physical activity.

Overall, the meeting underscored the commitment of the Washington County Commissioners Court to foster community health and wellness through proactive engagement and educational initiatives. The court plans to continue collaborating with local agencies to support these efforts in the future.
