Childhood Obesity

Ending The Epidemic

The end of the childhood obesity epidemic begins with a vision for healthier communities. In a healthy community, public knowledge creates the ability to lead a healthier life.

Policy makers, school superintendents, day care center operators, community center managers and other leaders catalyze changes that support healthy lifestyles. In a healthy community, motivation drives people to take responsibility for their health.
