What's New

One of the center's newest endeavors is Five & Fit - a pilot project designed to prevent early childhood obesity by mobilizing older adults (age 55+) from the community in changing the behaviors of parents, family members and formal caregivers related to healthy food choices, regular exercise and other behaviors deemed important in the prevention of early obesity. Mobilizing older adults to influence the circle of caregivers that surround young children and impact the community in which they live is a unique approach that is a win-win-win for all involved.
