ABOUT HEALTHY WALTHAM
Healthy Waltham works to alleviate health disparities that exist in the City of Waltham and to improve the health outcomes of the city’s most vulnerable residents. We do this through the development of programs that improve nutrition, encourage physical activity and increase access to healthy foods.
Waltham is home to a high population of working poor, many of whom are service workers, low-income seniors and recent immigrants from Central and South America, Uganda and Haiti. The majority of Waltham Public School students qualify for free or reduced-cost lunches. These are the populations served by Healthy Waltham.
