Fit Kids . . . Fit Families

Fit Kids, Fit Families brings together families, the YMCA, schools, public health officials, Aurora and the American Diabetes Association to fight childhood obesity.

The 12-week program helps improve nutrition, self-esteem and exercise habits. It's a tremendous way to help the entire family. Fit Kids, Fit Families emphasizes family lifestyle changes by requiring an adult to attend sessions with each child.

If something isn't done to address obesity, we'll see greater numbers of people with more complex and costly health issues. Fit Kids, Fit Families shows you can make an impact on this issue. It's going to take all of us to beat obesity. Aurora's willingness to help establish this model program has brought us a long way toward achieving our goal.
