HEALTH

THE CHALLENGE

Good health is one of the building blocks for a better life, but only 1 in 3 Americans is living a healthy lifestyle. Whether someone struggles with mental illness or is burdened caring for a sick relative, our initiatives aim to improve the lives of children, adults and seniors. Achieving good health requires us all to become more aware of health risks and the potential effects they have early in life.

Our chapter of United Way is working to extend access to health care and wellness services that will enable more people to live healthier lives.

CHARACTER PLAYBOOK™
