We’re creating positive change for children’s health in Idaho.

Little-Boy-On-A-Playground

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?

Only 30% of Idaho teenagers…

eat the recommended two servings of fruits and vegetables daily. How can communities step up to make being active the easy choice?

We can do better. And we are.

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
