With planning and collaboration, we want to make the healthy choice: the easy choice
Live Healthy Baldwin is a community wide initiative that centers on providing ways to reverse the childhood obesity epidemic among at-risk children by increasing the opportunities available for healthy food choices and physical activity.
Live Healthy Baldwin will achieve this by:
