Why Healthcare?
Healthcare professionals and primary care physicians are credible sources for health and wellness messages. They also play an integral role in the health of our communities.
5-2-1-0 and Healthcare
Because physicians are natural advocates for health and wellness, the physician’s office is a powerful place to implement the 5-2-1-0 program and its message of healthy eating and active living. The 5-2-1-0 Let’s Go Healthcare Toolkit educates providers and their practices on childhood obesity prevention, assessment, management, and treatment. The Healthcare Toolkit contains supporting materials and training for providers and staff to promote healthy lifestyles.
