St. Joseph Health System (SJHS), in partnership with the American Academy of Pediatrics, launched the Healthy For Life campaign in 2008 to fight childhood obesity, beginning in Orange County.
This comprehensive social and health care outreach initiative focuses on motivating kids and their families to develop healthy lifestyle choices by incorporating both physical activity and a responsible diet.
SJHS is committed to promoting health improvement and supporting social initiatives that eliminate health disparities, improve access to care and protect the environment, and investment in wellness is key to solving health problems.
With an emphasis on reaching at-risk youth and their communities, the Healthy for Life program’s goal is to provide parents and children with the tools and knowledge to help them chose a healthier lifestyle.
A multi-level approach includes physical education and nutrition and lifestyle components, offering tools to help families obtain a nutritional, healthy lifestyle.
