As Fayette County residents set their New Year’s resolutions, many are dedicating themselves to bettering their overall health. 

In 2019, the Fayette Living Well Coalition is committed to helping residents achieve those “new year, new me” goals by improving and sustaining physical, social, economic, psychological and environmental health. 

Formed as a subcommittee of the Fayette County Community Health Improvement Partnership, the Living Well Coalition is a planning group that reviews the county’s wellness state and works together toward the day when all its residents can “live well.” 

The coalition is made up of steering committee members Muriel Nuttall, Sandra Morris, Erica Usher, John Rapano, Melissa Miner, Jana Kyle, Sue Quinn, Mike Quinn and Jacqueline Core, as well as representatives of various wellness-driven county entities.
