MANCHESTER, NH – In celebration of National Neighborhood Day on September 17, the City of Manchester Health Department is pleased to announce the launching of a new website entitled My Manchester.
This is a one-stop site for Greater Manchester residents and community partners who want a better life for themselves and their children, who are looking for neighborhood-based connections to become more involved in local health improvement efforts, and who are seeking resources for personal growth.
The site is fully translatable in a number of languages using the Google Translate widget at the bottom of the page.
Research has shown that residents who give back to the community or to something bigger than themselves have fewer stress-related illnesses and better lifelong health. We encourage users to learn more about Manchester’s history and what the community has to offer by visiting each neighborhood profile.
Here, users will find neighborhood news and events, facts and features, ways to get involved and resources for healthy living. Residents and community partners can submit a neighborhood photo, event or news, or register with the site to receive more information about ways to make where they live healthier. Please feel free to use the Contact Us page to give suggestions on how we can work together for a better Manchester.
OUR VISION: “Manchester will be a thriving ‘City of Neighborhoods’ designed to:
- Support opportunities for learning and employment;
- Increase access to resources for both healthcare and neighborhood-based services;
- Provide positive living spaces and places, including both home and neighborhood,
- Increase neighborhood pride and connections and improve safety; and
- Promote healthy choices and options that support healthy living.
The City of Manchester Health Department also invites users to view Manchester’s Neighborhood Health Improvement Strategy page to learn more about the collective impact work underway to build neighborhoods of opportunity and community schools in the City.
