About Us - Our Mission
In partnership with Lancaster General Health, the Lighten Up Lancaster County Coalition was formed in 2007 with the goal of increasing the percentage of adults and children who are at a healthy weight in Lancaster County.
We are a group of concerned individuals whose members include stay-at-home parents, students, educators, wellness professionals, healthcare providers, local government officials, food service employees, recreation/fitness facilities, non-profits and businesses. We each bring different experiences and perspectives to the table, but our unifying purpose is to develop, implement, and promote local policies and programs that make being healthy easy.
We warmly welcome you to join us and help advance the health of our community. Depending on your interests, there are many ways to get involved. You can share your talents by becoming a member of one or more of our Action Teams:
As a member of our Coalition, you’ll also receive a monthly e-newsletter and have opportunities to network with other people who share the same vision for improving the health of Lancaster County.
The entire Coalition meets on a bi-monthly basis at Burle Industrial Park, 1030 New Holland Avenue. Action teams meet separately. All meetings are free and open to the public.
