Riverton

Riverton is committed to improving health and quality of life through accessible recreation, healthy food resources, and mental health awareness. The city supports active living through affordable fitness opportunities, including community running races and free exercise events. It promotes healthy eating through community nutrition classes and school food pantries, while working to reduce mental health stigma and increase access to suicide prevention resources.
