WE ARE...
...The Norwayne Health Professions Affinity Community.
The Norwayne Health Professions Affinity Community is an extracurricular club for Norwayne students who are motivated to improve the health in our community. We are are a student-led organization mentored by teachers and community members with the mission of creating a healthier community.
Our focus has been on combating childhood obesity and inactivity with past projects, including the technology app for the County Line Trail, an after school health and fitness club for elementary students, community presentations on healthy snacks, and the annual spring 5k race and community health fair. This year we are also excited to facilitate bicycle safety in our community.
This year we are also excited to be a part of the Aultman Ambassadors Program in partnership with Aultman Orrville Hospital. The Aultman Ambassadors program was created to arm high school students with the information and confidence they need to promote healthy habits in their school. We are excited to see where this new partnership will go!
