Jordan III, president and CEO of Smith Land & Improvement Corporation, owner of the West Shore Plaza. "We've been a shopping destination since 1954, and at 98% occupancy, we are proud to be home to small and women-owned businesses that have created strong brand experiences and deep neighborhood relationships."

"A positive relationship with fitness is the key to sustainable health, and there is no better way to build one than by working with individuals and companies within the surrounding community to provide events like Healthy Neighbors Fest," says Ashley Mentzer, owner, Thrive Fit Co.

"We hope area residents will join us at Healthy Neighbors Fest and take a few minutes to learn CPR and how to use an AED (defibrillator). Providing community members with these lifesaving skills could be the difference between life and death when faced with a cardiac emergency. Working together, we are protecting hearts and saving lives. We're glad to be a part of this healthy initiative again this year," says Julie Walker, executive director, The Peyton Walker Foundation.

"Whether it's stopping in at True Value to get free health screenings with UPMC Pinnacle, donating blood in the bloodmobile, learning self-defense tips, or trying a yoga session at the Fitness Park, together we're taking steps to greater health," says Jordan III.
