Teaching children and families to become life-long learners and active citizens includes helping make fitness and nutrition real to them. Participating as a full and active member of BHR just makes good sense, because it is a strong voice in advocating for community health and wellness. The mobilization and education in the community has resulted in Reach Healthy Hearts, which has promoted a healthy snack policy in our schools. We look forward to continuing to work as a partner in this coalition – promoting health messages and improving access to healthy foods and fitness opportunities.
