Local organizations and community stakeholders from Toms River’s health, education, business and not-for-profit sectors determined that a more effective approach to advancing health in their community involved establishing the Toms River Family Health & Support Coalition. In working to identify the greatest health impact areas in the community, the leadership team has prioritized four critical areas of focus: Nutritious Food Connections, Senior Isolation, Substance Abuse and Youth Emotional Wellness. The Coalition’s Blueprint details key community partners and strategies to advance its mission to “make Toms River the healthiest community in New Jersey.” Scroll down to access the coalition’s Blueprint.
