Inspiring a culture of health and well-being in St. Charles County

Community Strong is a health initiative to improve the health and well-being of St. Charles County. We use a novel approach as a health coalition to build social connectivity to tackle tough topics such as obesity, substance use / misuse and access to care.

Learn about our three pillars:

MOVEMENT

Simple daily exercise enhances your mood, support your immune system, builds and preserves bone mass, enhances brain health, and can improve your relationships!

CONNECT

Access to comprehensive, quality health care services is important for promoting and maintaining health, preventing and managing disease, reducing unnecessary disability and premature death, and achieving health equity for all citizens who live, work, or play in St. Charles County.

MINDSET

Positive thinking helps with stress management and improve your health and build resilience to fight substance use / misuse, lower rates of depression, and provide better coping skills during hardship and times of stress.

Action Teams

Community Strong is unique in the fact that members of the community have joined forces with us to form small groups we call action teams. These teams meet monthly and each team's chief responsibility is to address the health challenges we collectively face in St Charles County. Some of these challenges include access to care, workplace wellness, chronic disease management & prevention, and substance use disorder. For more information on what our action teams are up to, please click on the Learn More button.

Will Klein - Owner / President / Broker - MOVE Realty

“I believe Community Strong can make an impact on our community health by sharing information/events and bringing awareness to living a healthier lifestyle even with our busy schedules. Its easy to feel we lack time and/or money to join a gym, so for me, simply adding a walk or bike ride as an optional way to work will ultimately make me healthier. I also believe Community Strong can bring more awareness to our residents, the value of travelling safely, and the healthy impact going places by foot or bicycle have on our well-being.”
