FOLC is proud to recognize the exceptional work of the organization "Steps to a Healthier New Orleans" in supporting the Lafitte Greenway project.

Partnered with the Louisiana Public Health Institute (LPHI) and the City of New Orleans Health Department, the Steps program funds communities to implement chronic disease prevention and health promotion programs that target three major chronic diseases: diabetes, obesity and asthma and their underlying risk factors of physical inactivity, poor nutrition and tobacco use. Steps to a Healthier New Orleans ("Steps") is part of the Steps to a Healthier US Initiative.

In particular, we salute the work of Urban Planning Specialist, Jennifer Ruley, PE, who has pushed the work of FOLC forward in the areas of planning, organization, publicity, grant-writing, and engineering expertise in greenway design.
