Kaiser Permanente and Golden State Warriors Team Up to Fight Childhood Obesity

Date:11/2/2007

nd activity theme and event.

The Warriors partnership and the Amazing Food Detective video game are part of Kaiser Permanente's $20 million annual grants to reach beyond the doctor's office to help make changes that encourage healthy eating and active living in our communities.

Among the changes Kaiser Permanente has supported are creating 35 farmers' markets at or near Kaiser Permanente facilities in six states; offering healthier food choices in school cafeterias and student stores; removing from school vending machines less-than healthy choices such as sodas; helping establish safe walking and biking routes to and from school and work; urging neighborhood markets and corner stores to offer and prominently display more fresh produce; and staging thousands of performances about healthy living by the Educational Theatre Program in schools around the U.S. ETP performances reached 539,344 kindergarten through 12th-grade students in 1,883 schools in 2006, and 13 million students since it began in 1985.
