A Message from Mayor Mike Cooper: Welcome to the Mayors Council on Healthy Lifestyles

It is with eagerness and enthusiasm that I introduce to the City of Covington and our neighbors an invaluable community resource.  One that was initiated at the onset of my service as Mayor of Covington, and now prepared to take the lead on encouraging and establishing healthy living as a way of life in our city;  an organization of dedicated and committed individuals, volunteering their time, effort and expertise —  the Mayor’s Council on Healthy Lifestyles.

The Mayor’s Council on Healthy Lifestyles’ mission is to support and inspire the citizens of Covington to improve health by promoting and encouraging the development of healthy lifestyle choices.  This Council serves as a steering committee to my office to create awareness of the many and diverse healthy lifestyle resources our City has to offer.  The goal of the Mayor’s Council on Healthy Lifestyles is to build a unified community committed to better health.

The City of Covington is extremely fortunate to possess a multitude of health organizations, both public and private, offering care and support.  In addition, we have businesses both for profit and non-profit, committed to providing a multitude of options for prevention and maintenance.  Entities which recognize that choosing and living a healthy lifestyle is a commitment to a life-long process of becoming aware of healthy choices and making decisions that lead toward a more balanced and fulfilling life;  a life that maximizes personal health in many dimensions.  Please join me and the Mayor’s Council on Healthy Lifestyles by visiting our City of Covington website at:

Regards,

Mike Cooper, Mayor
