GET “ON THE MOVE” Congressman Rogers launched this

health and wellness initiative 5 years ago

Community Center anchored, partnered with local schools, Morehead State, retired teachers, many others

Raised awareness, launched health and wellness programs

Inspired our community to get moving Long after the grant, still going strong!

COMMUNITY CENTER PROGRAMS KEEP US ON THE MOVE! Over 5,000 lbs of weight has been lost through

“Operation Slimdown” in the last 5 years Added biking trail, heritage village and

mountain walking trails, tennis courts, playground – with plans for more!

Martin County On the Move’s impact has been real and contagious – the community center has become a hub of physical activity
