PBS39 presents Community Conversations, a series of forums that address today's issues impacting communities in the Greater Lehigh Valley and beyond.

 A Community Conversation: Path To A Healthier Valley

Watch now through the video player below.
 

Blue Zones are parts of the world where people live longer, happier lives on average. The Lehigh Valley isn’t a Blue Zone yet, but some folks think it could be one day. Meet some local organizations and health leaders who take physical and community health seriously, and hear what they have to say about what we do right, what we could do better, and where we think we’ll be in 80 years. 

Hosted by Lehighvalleynews.com Health & Wellness Reporter Brittany Sweeney.

- Dr. Robert Murphy, Chief Physician Executive, Lehigh Valley Health Network

ABOUT THE HOST

BRITTANY SWEENEY

I’m LehighValleyNews.com’s health and wellness reporter and also host “Living in the Lehigh Valley,” PBS39's health and wellness show. I have covered health-related topics for Lehigh Valley Public Media, contributing to PBS39 and 91.3 WLVR, since 2018.

Winning the 2020 Emmy Award for Video Journalist is something I am proud of accomplishing while working for Lehigh Valley Public Media. I grew up in Montgomery County and I'm passionate about telling compelling stories in my home state of Pennsylvania. I'm a graduate of Temple University (go Owls!) and spent most of my career working as an anchor and reporter for NBC affiliates in Northeast Pennsylvania and Ohio. 

When I'm not covering news around the Lehigh Valley, I can be found exploring the great outdoors with my family.
