Fit For Kids

Four Principles for Action:

1. Providing parents and children with reliable, up-to-date information in multiple settings regarding healthy physical activity and eating habits;

2. Supporting a culture of wellness and health promotion in our workplaces, schools and other institutions;

3. Developing land use, planning and other public policies that foster and support physical activity for all in our community;

4. Assuring that fresh fruits and vegetables are affordable and accessible to all families in our community.

The Healthy Kane 2030 Vision is for the citizens of Kane County to be the healthiest in Illinois.

I believe that through a combination of both personal and social responsibility we have the power to choose the shape of things to come in our community.

Put simply, lack of action on our part will lead to our children and grandchildren having shorter, sicker lives.

Thank you for joining us in our efforts to Make Kane County Fit for Kids.

Chairman, Kane County Board
