Pioneering Healthier Communities
Our Mission: Influence and empower all families in Marshall County Iowa to choose healthier lifestyle.
The reason: overweight and under-activity have been identified as two of the county's most pressing health issues.
The consequences: there are elevated rates of cardiovascular disease and diabetes. And more of it is being observed in children.
