Letter to the Editor: Our thanks to 5 Healthy Towns survey respondents!

May 14, 2020

The Manchester Wellness Coalition sincerely thanks all area residents who responded to the recent on-line 5HF Survey conducted by the 5 Healthy Towns Foundation, covering a range of  health and wellness topics affecting our local population. This data is critical to our annual planning efforts to develop infrastructure, programs and events that help us eat better, move more, connect with others in healthy ways, and avoid unhealthy substances.

We are very pleased that 515 of our Manchester residents responded to this survey, exceeding our goal of 400, and providing us with a strong statistical sample of data to work with. This accomplishment put Manchester in second place of the five towns responding to the survey!

Please follow along with us as we continue to plan for a healthy environment in Manchester. We’ll publish articles in the Manchester Mirror on our progress, as we continue our monthly meetings and programs after the stay-at-home period has passed.
