Solano County is becoming a healthier place to live, learn, work and play thanks to the work of many in our community and a federal grant from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
These federal funds have planted seeds throughout the county and in more than 35 other communities around the nation. The lessons we are learning and the unique projects we have started are expected to improve our nation’s health for years to come. For Solano County, being part of this type of national change is exciting, and we applaud CDC for funding it at a local level.
Have you noticed the 32 new water bottle filling stations in our Suisun City and Vallejo parks? Have you heard from students about how easy it is to get free, clean, cold water at the 22 schools in the county that have new water stations? Have you found healthy snacks at your local convenience store or taken advantage of the healthy checkout aisles at some local grocery stores? Did you know that the parks in Vallejo, Suisun City and the county parks are smoke-free, and at least 18 apartment complexes in Solano are also smoke-free?
