Local organization making positive changes

 (WTOC) – After suffering a heart attack many years ago, former Mayor Otis Johnson led the charge to establish Healthy Savannah.

Healthy Savannah seeks to make the city a healthier place to live, work, and play. It leads and supports a culture of health by creating an environment that makes a healthy choice an easy choice. The Executive Director Armand Turner joined WTOC’s Dawn Baker for ‘Welcome to our Community’ to discuss how the organization’s making positive changes in throughout Savannah.
