Eat Healthy What We Are Doing

Everyone wants to live better, longer, right? When you take a step toward living a healthier lifestyle, it’s easier to stay on track when healthier options are easy to nd. Measure Up Marion brings the resources of community organizations together to make it easier to be healthy where we live, learn, work, worship and play.

Measure Up Marion is making it easier to choose healthy, even at work! Thanks to employers that have partnered with us since 2015, approximately 12,200 employees working in Marion County have access to worksite wellness programs.

Let’s Eat Healthy

Who’s Helping Us?

• City of Belleview – Penny Byrd

• City of Ocala – Lyn Viselli

The unique support and accountability found in workplace settings enable employees to take initial healthy steps that, in turn, become habits. From simple programs like Sit for 60–Move for 3 and healthier vending options, to diabetes prevention and management classes, employees throughout Marion County are given the opportunity to improve their health. Those engaged in worksite wellness programs take their new habits home, further expanding the impact of the initiative.
