Mayor’s Wellness Campaign programs continue; hospital offers mobile screening van
Summary
The committee reviewed ongoing MWC classes and upcoming programs, heard that Hackensack University Medical Center can provide a mobile wellness van for screenings, and considered a Cre8sArt Foundation enrichment proposal pending Civic Center availability.
Sustainable RP reported steady attendance at Mayor’s Wellness Campaign programs including Stronger for Life, Mat Pilates, and mindfulness and meditation classes. Committee members said youth and family programs (dance, family yoga) and fitness options (pickleball instruction, aquatic classes) are planned for spring and summer schedules.
Hackensack University Medical Center offered mobile wellness-van screenings (blood pressure, BMI, cholesterol, glucose, vision acuity and health education) to bring preventive services to local parks and events. Members discussed coordinating the mobile van with a potential ribbon-cutting event at a new sensory park if timing aligns.
Cre8sArt Foundation proposed a monthly enrichment program of four workshops (children, teens, adults, seniors) tied to MWC goals of creativity and mental wellness. Members noted only one month is likely to be hosted before the fall due to Civic Center scheduling constraints.
