Nutrition, Exercise & Weight
Goal: Increase awareness of community resources for nutrition, exercise and weight in Kane County
Progress
Overall, the goals and activities of the Nutrition, Exercise, and Weight Action Team have progressed substantially. Free or low-cost nutrition, exercise, and weight management programs were consolidated into a comprehensive directory accessible here. This directory has interactive features for easy navigation by town, zip code, or service type. The action team collaborated effectively with several organizations, developing additional partnerships and attending four health fairs. A toolkit was created for more health-conscious health fairs, found here, and distributed to over 100 partners. Additionally, there is also now a profile for nutrition services in the IRIS (information and referral) system.
