On May 22, 2008, nearly 100 Arkansas leaders representing government, education, communities, health care, public health, insurance, media, business, philanthropy, and faith groups came together to develop recommended policies for addressing Arkansas’s obesity epidemic.
Obesity is an epidemic that places a multi-billion dollar burden on Arkansas’s economy, touching the lives of every citizen in one way or another. By bringing a wide spectrum of leaders together at the same table, summit organizers hope to spark the kind of cultural shift needed to reverse this multi-generational health issue.
The summit was funded by the Blue & You Foundation for a Healthier Arkansas and Arkansas Children’s Hospital. It was co-sponsored by the Arkansas Center for Health Improvement, the Arkansas Department of Health and the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, College of Public Health.
