When it comes to creating community, Pueblo West knows health and fitness are a priority in creating positive mental health and thriving individuals. The community in conjunction with the Pueblo County Health Department conducts regular health improvement plans to stay focused on the necessary goal-setting that keeps neighbors moving forward.
Seasonal Farmer’s Markets reflect the community’s emphasis on well-being and the county’s newest movements in positive youth development are creating future thinkers of the area’s youth. All are instrumental to the mind and body wellness.
Ripple effects of these areas of concentration have created a maturing fitness and wellness market in Pueblo West that is growing daily.
