It’s the page one feature article on the current “Lighten Up Lancaster Coalition” newsletter.

“In partnership with Lancaster General Health, the Lighten Up Lancaster County Coalition was formed in 2007 with the goal of increasing the percentage of adults and children who are at a healthy weight in Lancaster County.

“We are a group of concerned individuals whose members include stay-at-home parents, students, educators, wellness professionals, healthcare providers, local government officials, food service employees, recreation/fitness facilities, non-profits and businesses. We each bring different experiences and perspectives to the table, but our unifying purpose is to develop, implement, and promote local policies and programs that make being healthy easy.”
