4. Algoma, Wisconsin and the Live Algoma Program
Algoma is a small rural community working towards improving the health and wellness of our community through access to high quality nutrition, exercise, financial, recreation, and mental health services.  With a growing poverty rate, our coalition (Live Algoma) is committed to developing equal opportunities for all of our citizens through each of our five focal points Healthy Children, Healthy Individuals, Healthy Community, Healthy Employers, while ultimately contributing back to the Healthy Commons.  We are seeking a community that has leveraged local assets in terms of nutritional improvement while also providing avenues for holistic health and wellness.
