Welcome To The Healthy Staten Island Website!

Dear Friends:

Thank you for visiting healthysi.com, the first web site of its kind on Staten Island.

As we all know, Staten Island has some of the highest mortality, smoking, obesity, and heart disease rates in the City. Unfortunately, as a nation and a borough we do not eat well, do not get enough exercise, and, far too often, engage in unhealthy behaviors.

This website, a collaboration between my office and the Staten Island Economic Development Corporation, is meant as a "one-stop shopping" meeting point where you can access the information you need to live a healthier lifestyle.

I encourage you to add this web site to your "favorite places" list and browse it often. You will be able to find important information on nutrition, weight loss programs, current medical topics, or search for various health care providers in your community.

Working together we can become a healthier borough.

Very truly yours,

Jim Oddo
