| Mission Statement | Active Living Every Day is offered through the Greater Detroit Area Health Council in conjunction with the Detroit Area Agency on Aging and Wayne State University/Detroit Medical Center in four neighborhood-based locations in Detroit. Lead neighborhood partners include the Northwest Neighborhood Health Empowerment Center, New Calvary Baptist Church, Cass Community Social Services and Virginia Park Senior Citizens Service Corporation. Additionally, the City of Detroit Departments of Recreation and Health & Wellness Promotion provide advisory, advocacy and consultative services. |
| Primary Services | The program targets recruitment through community, senior and faith-based sectors which include neighborhood-based agencies, employers, and social networks such as churches, social clubs, senior apartment building dwellers and block clubs. Community leadership is instrumental with Detroits project for decision-making and governance. The Executive Committee governs the project and four geographic specific Community Councils represented by neighborhood leaders coordinate delivery of the Active Living Everyday Model through support groups in their neighborhood, and community-wide promotion of the Active Living philosophy. |
