Utah Action for Healthy Kids

Welcome to the Utah Team

The Utah Action for Healthy Kids team consists of individuals,organizations and associations working together to combat childhood obesity throughout the state of Utah.  Through networking and collaboration, we are able to provide our partner agencies with the support they need to meet our mutual goals. 

Current projects see our links at the side of the page. Projects include working with the Utah PTA to promote wellness in the Utah school system through trainings, webinars and exhibits; serving as the school work group for the Utah Department of Health "Physical Activity, Nutrition, and Obesity (PANO) Program;" working collaboratively with Utah "Fuel Up To Play 60" and "Gold Medal Schools;" promoting nutrition education and phyiscal activity by working with the Child Nutrition Program and Utah Department of Education.

Looking Ahead 

In the years to come, the Utah team will be focusing on:  

• Educating school administrators to understand that healthy children do better in school. 
• Training schools on using Fuel Up to Play 60 to increase awareness of wellness programs in schools.
