Merchantville health board plans 2025 push to keep Mayor’s Wellness Campaign designation, pursue Sustainable Jersey Gold Star
Summary
The Merchantville Health Department Commission said Jan. 16 it will bolster community-survey capacity and partner with the WOW Center to sustain its Mayor’s Wellness Campaign designation, while chair Joan will work with the borough to assemble documentation for a Sustainable Jersey Gold Star Standard in Health submission.
Joan, the commission chair, said the board will support efforts to maintain Merchantville’s Mayor’s Wellness Campaign designation and pursue the Sustainable Jersey Gold Star Standard in Health this year. She said she will partner with the borough to collect documentary evidence needed for the Sustainable Jersey submission.
Jennifer reported she submitted the board’s annual Mayor’s Wellness Campaign application and flagged a possible shortfall in assessment-survey data for the small borough. She said the commission hopes the new borough website can host surveys and support bulk email, and that she will coordinate with the WOW Center to deploy programs that meet MWC requirements and allow the borough to add the MWC logo to health- and wellness-related events.
The board did not adopt a formal resolution or vote on the submission; members described next steps as gathering records and working with borough staff and partners to fill documentation gaps. No funding figures or formal deadlines for the Sustainable Jersey submission were specified.
