Fit to Celebrate: Five Years Strong
Larry Soler
CEO, Partnership for a Healthier America
Last week, during the Partnership for a Healthier America’s (PHA) annual Building a Healthier Future Summit in Washington, D.C., we hosted a benefit to celebrate PHA’s five-year anniversary. It was an opportunity to come together with our partners and supporters to celebrate meaningful commitments to solving the childhood obesity crisis. Together, we have made great strides toward our common goal.
Five years ago, PHA was created to help tackle the urgent health crisis of childhood obesity by transforming the marketplace to offer healthy choices that are more accessible and affordable. In that time, we have spurred meaningful action from our growing list of partners and collaborators and have begun to see a corresponding shift in consumer expectations. To date, PHA has secured commitments from more than 100 partners, who are collectively creating a marketplace that offers an ever-widening array of healthy choices to American families in the places they work, eat, live and play.
