Tightening AZ’s Waistline

May 22nd, 2012

The CDC, along with HBO, The Institutes of Medicine and several private partners created a series of documentaries, called Weight of the Nation which aired last week, but you can still watch them all online

We wrote a feature about our own Matt Gainey-  who made tremendous strides to change his health.  Matt is just one of many success stories in Arizona.  We’ve created a website that collects stories like Matt’s as well as success stories from communities across the state.  Let us know what you’ve done to make a difference in your community – together we can put the brakes on the growth of obesity and work for people to have health at every size.  You can watch the documentary online for free here: http://theweightofthenation.hbo.com/.  The full report and supporting materials, including recommendations on promoting physical activity and supporting healthy eating and healthy weights, are available online.
