New Year, New You: How Healthy Savannah helps people make meaningful lifestyle changes

It’s never too late to start to change your life. That’s why, every year, as the clock strikes midnight on Jan. 1, people across the country resolve to a “new year, new me.” Sixty percent of Americans intend to focus on health, fitness and exercise in 2025, as found in a nationwide survey of 159 million adults by the Health & Fitness Association.

If you’re one of the 96 million adults looking to prioritize those things this year, the new director of Healthy Savannah Armand Turner wants to help Savannahians do just that this year―and beyond.
