Who is it for?
Residents of Yuma County and surrounding areas.
Why do they do it?
Obesity rates in the United States have reached epidemic proportions, and healthcare costs are rising at an unsustainable rate. HY 2011 has coordinated resources throughout the community to help residents make positive changes to reverse these trends.
Impact
In January 2011, 1,300 people attended the Healthy Yuma kick-off event. Participants track their progress through the HY 2011 web site, official weigh-in events and “pocket trackers” to record date, weight, body fat and blood pressure.
