The Alliance for a Healthier Generation works to address one of the nation’s leading public health threats — childhood obesity. The goal of the Alliance is to reduce the nationwide prevalence of childhood obesity by 2015 and to empower kids to make healthy lifestyle choices. Founded in 2005 by the American Heart Association and the William J. Clinton Foundation, the Alliance works to positively affect the places that can make a difference to a child’s health: homes, schools, doctors’ offices, and communities. Through the Healthy Schools Program, more than 13,000 schools in all 50 states are providing students with healthier learning environments.
