Our Mission: To empower Ottawa County residents to adopt healthy, sustainable lifestyles.
Our Vision: Implement policy and environmental changes in the areas of physical activity, healthy eating, and tobacco-free living in Ottawa County.
OCWC is working to improve the health of Ottawa County communities. This is done by using policy and environmental changes to increase residents’ access to healthy food choices, physical activity and tobacco-free living. (some examples include Farmer’s Markets, creation of non-motorized pathways, and smoke-free environments).
