If you live in Smithville and are looking for healthy activities in your area, then we’ve got great news! Choose Healthier is now available in your neighborhood. Choose Healthier is a free mobile app and website designed to empower people to lead healthier lives and build healthier communities by presenting them with healthy places, classes, and events, as well as the ability to share and promote these opportunities with their friends and families.

We are partnering with Smithville Whole Health Partnership (SWHP) to help us bring Choose Healthier to this great city. SWHP focuses on building partnerships and engaging the community to instill a strong culture of health in Smithville. The primary SWHP partners include the City of Smithville, Smithville Community Clinic, Smithville Independent School District, Methodist Healthcare Ministries (Wesley Nurse program), Seton Smithville Regional Hospital, the Smithville Public Library, the Smithville Health Advisory Council, and the Chamber of Commerce.

SWHP is motivated by all of the possibilities they see in this small and mighty community. As the culture of health strengthens in Smithville, more resources become available to support the residents’ health goals and needs.

One of those resources is the Choose Healthier website and mobile app. You can use Choose Healthier to locate exercise classes, events, farmers’ markets, fun runs, and more! All you have to do is type in your zip code to find out what opportunities are available in near you. Download the app from the App Store or Google Play. If you are a healthy business or organization looking to promote your classes or events on the app, register as a partner on the website and begin uploading your healthy opportunities today.
