Statewide initiative to eliminate
childhood obesity in Idaho
Healthier children leads to a healthier Idaho.
Powered by the Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation, High Five! works with communities to promote healthy eating and physical activity among Idaho’s children.
We’re creating positive change for children’s health in Idaho.
1 in 3 children…
are overweight or obese. How can we work together to find ways to encourage more physical activity and better access to healthy foods?
45% of adolescents…
aren’t getting the recommended minimum of 60 minutes per day of physical activity. How do we make being active fun and energizing?
We can do better. And we are.
High Five! worked with State legislators in the 2017 Steps for Schools Challenge
Big challenges don’t get solved alone.
That’s why, in 2013, The Blue Cross of Idaho Foundation for Health created High Five! Together with community leaders and our partners, we engage Idahoans to reduce childhood obesity through:
- Increased physical activity
- Improved access to healthy, affordable foods
