SOUTH BRUNSWICK RECOGNIZED AS 2025 “HEALTHY TOWN” BY NEW JERSEY HEALTH CARE QUALITY INSTITUTE
South Brunswick Township, NJ (April 7) – South Brunswick Township has been honored as a 2025 “Healthy Town” by the New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute’s Mayors Wellness Campaign (MWC), marking the township’s second consecutive year receiving this recognition for its outstanding efforts to promote community health and wellness.
The Healthy Town designation celebrates municipalities that demonstrate innovation and commitment in areas such as physical activity, healthy eating, mental health education, and overall well-being. South Brunswick earned the award for its coordinated approach to meeting resident needs across township departments and community partners, with programs addressing food insecurity, homelessness, transportation barriers, and language access. Initiatives such as mobile food pantry events and outreach fairs in underserved neighborhoods highlight the township’s commitment to health equity.
South Brunswick also supports wellness across all ages through senior programs and inclusive recreational opportunities for adults with special needs via its Pioneer Program.
“Earning this recognition for a second consecutive year reflects our sustained commitment to advancing community health and wellness for all our residents,” said Mayor Charles Carley. “From our annual health and wellness events and educational outreach to continued investment in our parks and recreational facilities, South Brunswick Township remains committed to creating opportunities that help our residents stay healthy and thrive.”
The Mayors Wellness Campaign, a statewide initiative of the New Jersey Health Care Quality Institute in partnership with the New Jersey State League of Municipalities, continues to recognize communities that are leading efforts to improve health through access to physical activity, nutritious foods, safe environments, and mental health support. In 2025, a record 45 municipalities were designated as “Healthy Towns,” reflecting a growing commitment to public health across New Jersey.
