LAS VEGAS – Clark County residents are invited to ready their swimsuits and sunscreen for the Southern Nevada Health District’s annual Move Your Way® campaign. The Health District’s Office of Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion is turning up the fun this summer with a splashy series of free events to get people moving and feeling great.

The excitement kicks off Friday, May 23, with “Slide into Summer,” a family-friendly pool party from 6:30–9:30 p.m. at the Henderson Multi-Gen Activity Pool, 250 S. Green Valley Parkway, Henderson, NV 89012. But that’s just the beginning. Seven more aquatic adventures will pop up at public pools across the Valley through September 13—perfect for cooling off, getting active and having fun with friends and family. Check out the full schedule at GetHealthyClarkCounty.org or VivaSaludable.org.

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 27% of adults and 16% of high school students in Clark County are considered sedentary, which can lead to serious health problems down the line. That’s why the Health District is teaming up with community partners to make it easier to get active.

“Events like Move Your Way® give our community a fun, accessible way to build healthier habits,” said Dr. Cassius Lockett, District Health Officer of the Southern Nevada Health District. “Physical activity doesn’t have to be a chore—it can be something families and friends enjoy together. We encourage everyone to take advantage of this program and add movement to their everyday lives.”

Move Your Way® is a physical activity campaign from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services to promote the recommendations from the Physical Activity Guidelines for Americans and encourage people to incorporate them into everyday life. The campaign provides resources to help people stay on track in improving their fitness.

The Get Healthy Clark County and Viva Saludable websites also offer free, online programs that can help increase physical activity. Online programs include Walk Around Nevada and Neon to Nature. Additional programs include tools and resources about healthy eating, nutritional information tips, smoking cessation and resources to help maintain a healthier lifestyle.

The Southern Nevada Health District serves as the local public health authority for Clark County, Boulder City, Henderson, Las Vegas, Mesquite and North Las Vegas. The agency safeguards the public health of the community’s residents and visitors through innovative programs, regulations, and initiatives focused on protecting and promoting their health and well-being.
