John Bozalis, M.D., president of Schools for Healthy Lifestyles (a model program now at work in 20 Oklahoma City area elementary schools), and Fit Kids Vice Chair Dr. Janice Filler, a pediatrician at INTEGRIS Health certified in Child Weight Management.
The Coalition has made a thorough study of the many governmental, business and lifestyle factors that have contributed to this epidemic. To offer positive solutions, action being taken across the nation has also been closely tracked. Recent strides in Arkansas and Texas offer strong examples of the change that can be achieved when motivated, well-informed adults unite to protect children’s health.
