October 21, 2014 marked the annual Live Well San Diego update presented to the San Diego County Board of Supervisors, including the Year 4 Annual Report  summarizing collective efforts and impacts of the County and its partners in creating healthy and safe communities during fiscal year 2013-2014.  The Board also adopted the third and final component of the long term initiative – Thriving – which focuses on cultivating opportunities for all people and communities to grow, connect and enjoy the highest quality of life. 

Following the formal Board presentation, Live Well San Diego partners and County departments joined together to host the Live Well San Diego Wellness Fair and Partner Showcase on the West Lawn of the County Administration Center’s Waterfront Park.  The Expo celebrated work done collaboratively over the past year to promote healthy, safe and thriving communities.  Live Well San Diego partners represented all sectors – from government, to business, to schools, to faith-based and community organizations – all working toward common goals to improve the health, safety and well-being of the region.

The Expo included “Live Well San Diego in Action” exhibitor tables representing formally recognized Live Well San Diego partners and County departments.  A full schedule of exercise classes, safety presentations and healthy cooking demos kept guests active and entertained throughout the afternoon.
It was a great day for living well in San Diego County indeed!
