Partners for a Healthier Community, the organization that funds the Healthy City Fall River project, is inviting small businesses in Greater Fall River to participate in a new program designed specifically for them. The Healthy Worksites is a program that will give employers the tools that they can use to help their employees lead a healthier lifestyle.
 
Healthy Worksites will help employers provide resources that their employees can use to improve their health without taking time off from busy work schedules. It is well known that employees who pay attention to their health make better employees. Larger corporations have invested heavily in worksite wellness programs because they know that there is a big return on investment.

Submitted by Eitan Levine on Thu, 01/19/2012 - 5:08pm

For more than 29 years, “A Wish Come True, Inc.” has been granting wishes to children age 3 through 18 who suffer from life threatening illnesses, and live in Rhode Island and parts of southeastern Massachusetts.  It has been quite a journey, and the lives of countless children and their families have been positively impacted as a result of this journey. The idea is to make their lives a little brighter. A Wish Come True provides children and their families a chance to set aside the illness, and give them opportunities to do things or go to places other children and families experience. The mission and goal is to grant every medically qualified child “one memorable wish.”  A Wish Come True, Inc. was the first organization of its kind in this area, granting wishes to 12 children in the first year. Now, they average 60 to 80 wishes per year.

As a follow up to Fall River being named one of the 100 Best Communities, Mayor William A. Flanagan, in conjunction with the Youth CHOICES Collaborative, is pleased to announce that January is National Mentoring Month.  Created in 2002 by the Harvard School of Public Health and MENTOR: The National Mentoring Partnership, National Mentoring Month (“NMM”) focuses national attention on the need for mentors, as well as how each of us—individuals, businesses, government agencies, schools, faith communities and nonprofits—can work together to increase the number of mentors to assure brighter futures for our young people.
   
NMM celebrates mentoring and the positive effect it can have on young lives. Its goals are to: to: 1.) raise awareness of mentoring in its various forms; 2.) acknowledge agencies and programs that coordinate mentor programs; 3.) recognize individuals who dedicate themselves to making a difference in the lives of others; and 4.) recruit individuals to mentor, especially in programs that have waiting lists of young people.
