Healthier Sussex County, a collaboration between Beebe Healthcare, Nanticoke Memorial Hospital and Bayhealth – Milford Memorial, announced a partnership with the Plus 3 Network.

The Plus 3 Network partnership will focus on decreasing the percentage of overweight and obese residents of Sussex County by encouraging more physical activity.  This initiative was selected by Healthier Sussex County because, according to the Delaware Health Tracker, 67 percent of all adults in Sussex County are overweight or obese.

As part of the Healthier Sussex County, members enrolled in the Plus 3 Network will be raising funds in support of Sussex Outdoors – a public awareness campaign focused on making families aware of opportunities for outdoor activities and increasing those opportunities.

Joining the Plus 3 Network  takes less than two minutes.
