WHY ARE WE FOCUSED ON

NUTRITION AND PHYSICAL ACTIVITY?

Ongoing community health assessment processes have repeatedly
identified nutrition and physical activity as key priority areas of
opportunity for the Quad Cities.

While many Quad Cities numbers are comparable to the U.S. statistics,
making improvements in these areas could have a big impact on overall
health status.
