ABOUT HEALTHIER 901
There’s power in numbers.
Mid-South, a place of resilience and strength, is ready for change. Right now, obesity affects more than one-third of our community. Our most recent Community Health Needs Assessment shows that at least 1 out of every 3 people are at higher risk of life-threatening conditions. But we refuse to be bound by statistics. Together, we are changing the numbers.
Studies show that maintaining a healthy weight can help lower the risk of heart attacks and cancer, which can ultimately save lives. So, we are issuing a powerful challenge to all Mid-South residents, asking you to take action and ignite the change within. Thousands have already joined the Healthier 901 movement. Major employers are showing their ongoing participation. Together, we will rise and shape a healthier, more vibrant Mid-South. Are you in?
