Stewart County, located in Southwest Georgia and along the Georgia-Alabama state line, is home to approximately 5,300 residents. Since 2018, Healthier Together has worked to enhance obesity prevention efforts within the county through nutrition and physical activity education and active community engagement. Some of these efforts include the creation and implementation of parks and recreational centers, community gardens, and walkability signs placed throughout the county.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our efforts within the county will continue to develop to ensure that Dooly County residents are better-educated about nutrition and physical activity so they can live Healthier Together!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n
