Session Description:

Obesity is an epidemic in the United States and as parks and recreation service providers we have a responsibility to select and implement programs that are designed to enhance and improve the health of our community. This session will introduce the "Health in All Programs" model and provide strategies to implement this model in your own community. It's easier than you think and requires relatively small investments and changes in current programming.
