Every three years, the Radix Foundation awards a price which rewards municipalities and cities for their actions in favor of the health promotion. This distinction aims to promote good practices and to encourage the development of projects in the field of prevention and health promotion.
For the fifth edition of the Radix Prize, 32 Swiss municipalities and towns applied for numerous projects. After an examination of the files by the regional juries, 11 contributions were nominated. The national jury then had the difficult task of selecting three winners.
The City of Geneva has been selected and receives the prize “Healthy municipality – healthy city” for the first time, with its project “Let’s stay dynamic” (move between seniors)!
A social commitment to health
A healthy city must involve and support its inhabitants by responding to their concerns and their needs. This is one of the main objectives of the policy implemented by the Department of Social Cohesion and Solidarity.
