Healthy Macdonough is a Childhood Obesity Prevention pilot project
of the Community Health Center, Inc. (CHC). It targets
high-risk children ages 5 to 11 enrolled in kindergarten through
5th grade at Macdonough Elementary school in Middletown, Connecticut.
It is a partnership between CHC, the Middletown Public School
System, diverse community organizations and parents working
together to create an environment at Macdonough School that
1) engages parents in promoting healthier nutrition and physical
activity choices for themselves and their children and that
2) encourages them to advocate for systems and policy changes
that make such options more widely available.
