Healthy Eating
NashVitality is the spirit of our healthy city. It's the spirit creating places where all residents thrive in healthy communities.
Easy access to nutritious foods can have a profound impact on creating a healthier city. Where we live, work, learn, worship and play affects our choices, and having healthy options readily available can lead to better overall health - something that benefits all of us.
Whether a Healthy Corner Store, or a new school or community garden, Nashville is growing healthy places by increasing access to nutritious food in neighborhoods throughout our city.
