United Way knows that it is importatnt to invest in health because:
People need healthy environments to live healthy lives. Nationally, more than 33 percent of children and adolescents are overweight or obese. The cost of care for diseases related to obesity has surpassed the cost of cancer. That cost is another addition to our national debt and doctors fear that we are raising generations who may no longer outlive their parents. United Way is a leading partner in a movement to improve health status and quality of life for persons of all age groups, socioeconomic levels and ethnic backgrounds. Healthy communities are economically vibrant communities and attractive places to live, work and raise a family.As a community, we invite you to LIVE UNITED and help ensure that all people are healthy. |
