Wellness in the Valley Podcast

 In this episode of Wellness in the Valley, Guin Fit physical activity coordinator Dalton Campana joins us to talk about Guin Fit’s community design for physical activity strategy and what it means to create places that support movement, connection, and health. He shares how partnerships, planning, and community input are helping improve walkability, active transportation, and access to spaces for physical activity across the Valley. Tune in for a conversation about how healthier communities are built not just through programs, but through the design of the places where we live, work, and move.
