Huntington Health Revolution
A meeting was held in March that was attended by approximately 50 people interested in working toward a healthy Huntington. The group divided up into nine workgroups; busines, healthcare, religious, neighborhoods, civic/social organizations, education; social service; government; public relations. The goal of selecting the various workgroups was to ensure that everyone in the City of Huntington would somehow be impacted by this movement. Each of these groups except govemment and social service has a chairperson who also serves on the steering committee. The group started out as the Healthy Huntington Task Force, but later changed the name to the Huntington Health Revolution.

The mission of the Huntington Health Revolution is to inform and promote physical activity each day, eating a nutritious diet, getting preventative screening and avoiding risky behaviors among citizens of the Huntington area. The vision is: The Huntington area is a place where citizens are physically active each day, eat a nutritious diet, get preventive screenings, and avoid risky behaviors, which results in improved physical, mental, spiritual and emotional health.
