Movement is Medicine.

Did you know that almost a quarter of residents in Monongalia County do not engage in any physical activity outside of work? With so many opportunities to get active in our community, there's no reason not to take advantage of everything Monongalia County has to offer. The Wild and Wonderful Wellness Passport is a way to explore dozens of parks, trails, and organizations focused on providing opportunities for exercise or wellness.
