Get Moving – Get Healthy <br>New Jersey

The mission of Get Moving – Get Healthy New Jersey (GMGH – NJ) is to improve the health of individuals, families and communities. GMGH – NJ encourages a healthy lifestyle – especially healthy eating and physical activity – through educational programs, its website, publications and targeted marketing campaigns. Rutgers Cooperative Extension works in partnership with state and local governments, research institutions, professional groups, corporations and private organizations to achieve this mission.
