Physical activity and nutrition are key components of a healthy individual and community. Moving our bodies and fueling our bodies with nutritious foods are things we can do every day to prevent illness. 

Penn Medicine Lancaster General Health works to support and advocate for a healthy community environment, active transportation, and access to healthy food options.
