February 9 - Obesity Prevention (Registration is Free)
Over the past three decades, childhood obesity rates in America have tripled, and today, nearly one in three children in America are overweight or obese.
The numbers are even higher in African American and Hispanic communities, where nearly 40% of the children are overweight or obese. If we don't solve this problem, one third of all children born in 2000 or later will suffer from diabetes at some point in their lives.
This session will highlight Let's Move!, the First Lady's initiative dedicated to solving the challenge of childhood obesity within a generation as well as HRSA's Healthy Weight Collaborative, and how states are working to impact childhood obesity through their Title V Block Grants.
