The Building Healthy Communities program is a collaborative partnership that works to promote healthy school environments in schools across Michigan. For more than a decade, the partnership has encouraged children and families to be active and eat healthy – and in doing so has reduced childhood obesity and increased school performance!
Blue Cross Blue Shield of Michigan, Michigan Department of Health and Human Services, Michigan Fitness Foundation, United Dairy Industry of Michigan, Wayne State University’s Center for Health and Community Impact, and the University of Michigan collaborate annually to offer the Building Healthy Communities program to elementary and middle schools throughout Michigan.
