About Healthy St. Lucie

In June of 2015, community partners began work on a Community Health Improvement Plan for 2016-2019 and formed the Healthy St. Lucie Coalition to promote health where we live, learn, work, and play.

Recognizing that obesity, unhealthy diets and sedentary lifestyles are contributing to poor health these areas were targeted in the plan. As part of the goal to get people to “move more,” the Coalition launched a Billion Steps Challenge on January 1, 2018. By participating in this challenge, you will help St. Lucie County reach the goal of one billion steps by the end of the year!
