Mission Statement

The Hillsborough Mayors Wellness Campaign is committed to improving the health and wellness of our community; to identify local health and wellness needs, promote active living in support of those needs, increase awareness and strategies to prevent chronic illness and decrease health disparities that may exist. The ultimate goal is to mitigate the cost to our society and increase the quality of life in Hillsborough for a healthy Hillsborough.

Mayor’s Statement

Hillsborough Township first joined the Mayors Wellness Campaign in 2006, pledging to increase awareness about healthy living. In 2026, Hillsborough
Township remains steadfast in that resolve with even more programs and initiatives encouraging and focusing on healthy alternatives for both employees and residents.

Hillsborough Township is honored and excited to be recognized by the
Quality Institute as a Healthy Town, earning the Gold Level Designation,
and to have achieved Healthy Town Gold recognition two years in a row. This
continued recognition reflects our sustained commitment to promoting
health, wellness, and prevention throughout our community. The Mayors
Wellness Committee's mission is to improve the health and wellness of the
community, and it is through innovative programs and outreach that we
continue to engage our residents.

We are learning anew what it means to be healthy, to be aware of and care
for each other, how the health of our neighbors is paramount to living in a
healthy community, and to look for ways to positively impact the quality of
life for those who live, work, and play in our town.

Please join me in committing to a healthy lifestyle or starting new healthy
habits, and support and care for our neighbors to help build a healthy
Hillsborough.
