Imagining a Healthier New Orleans...
In order to meet the social, economic political, educational and civic challenges of the future, New Orleans needed a healthier population. Under Landrieu’s sweeping reforms, New Orleans became an award-winning city, earning a prized Culture of Health award from the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation. From Complete Streets to public-private partnered wellness programs to healthy vending in schools, New Orleans was a city embracing a healthier way of life. I was proud to join the Landrieu Administration in 2015, and to ultimately become a manager for one of the city’s Let’s Move! programs, leading a team that provided low-to-no cost group exercise opportunities at the city’s parks and playgrounds.
