Tulare County
In Tulare County, the Central California Regional Obesity Prevention Program (CCROPP) is working with schools, government officials, health care providers, community members and others to transform environments and establish new and improved policies that support healthy eating and active living. CCROPP partners have formed community councils in each of the eight San Joaquin Valley counties to help address environmental and policy challenges to healthy eating and physical activity.
In Tulare County, the Healthy for Life Obesity Council grew out of a unique collaboration with the Tulare County Health and Human Services Agency , the Tulare County Nutrition Collaborative, community members and key stakeholders.
The Healthy for Life Obesity Council is working towards:
- Establishing farmers markets, community gardens and markets with fresh foods in low-income neighborhoods.
- Increasing physical activity and physical education in Tulare schools and after-school programs.
- Creating or improving parks, sidewalks, and other opportunities for physical exercise including walking trails and bicycle lanes.
- Supporting healthy food, physical activity policies and breastfeeding policies in the workplace, including government, private enterprises, community organizations and congregations.
- Promoting “smart growth” strategies to help create healthier communities.
- And much more!
