Healthy Kids Program
Healthy Kids Program
The Healthy Kids Program aims to help all children live healthy lives by providing education and programming for children, parents, educators, child care providers and healthcare providers, with a goal of preventing and treating elevated Body Mass Index (BMI) and associated diseases such as diabetes.
All Kids Healthy
All Kids Healthy is the outreach branch of the Healthy Kids Program and is a resource for families, schools, childcare and healthcare providers to use to create healthier habits in the places where children live, learn and play. From programs for students to speakers for providers and families, All Kids Healthy has a variety of programs and resources to help kids grow strong and healthy for a lifetime.
Creating Healthy Habits
If you are looking to start making changes for yourself and your family, we have created a guide to help take the confusion out of the process and let you make the changes you want in a way that will last. Included in the guide is information on why creating healthy habits is important, a process to help you set and work toward your goals, information on how to plan for and handle set-backs, as well as tracking forms to help you stay on target.

Resources
5-2-1-0 is a messaging and education program based out of Maine and adopted by the American Academy of Pediatrics as well as numerous communities across the nation. All Kids Healthy collaborates with the Central Iowa Well Kids Coalition and the Healthiest State Initiative to provide consistent messaging about healthy eating and active living to Iowa families. In Central Iowa, the Healthy Kids Program provides outreach to healthcare providers, childcare providers and schools by offering training, webinars and resources. By integrating evidence-based messageing into a variety of settings, we are helping reinforce the message and encourage healthy habits for kids and families.
