About
There is no single cause and no single solution for childhood obesity. Therefore, the Alliance for a Healthier Generation — a partnership between the Clinton Foundation and the American Heart Association founded in 2005 — works to positively affect all the places that can make a difference in a child’s health including homes, schools, doctors’ offices, and communities. Alliance initiatives address both the macro- and micro-level changes necessary to combat the childhood obesity epidemic.
The Alliance is leading the charge against the childhood obesity epidemic by engaging directly with industry leaders, educators, parents, doctors, and kids. The goal of the Alliance is to reduce the nationwide prevalence of childhood obesity by 2015 and to inspire young people to develop lifelong healthy habits.
