Day Two Wrap-Up: Healthy Kids, Healthy Future
What a day! We’ve just concluded the second and final full day (see day one highlights) of the Nemours conference, Healthy Kids, Healthy Future. The site has featured:
- How the Head Start program can promote health
- Jim Sallis’ thoughts on how to incorporate physical activity into kids’ days
- Under Secretary Concannon’s call for innovation
- An a-ha moment from Margo Wootan
- A chat with Bill Dietz
- And much more
All of the speakers’ presentations are now available for download here. Over the next few days, check back for further updates, including:
- A collective brainstorm on what the next three years will look like
- A Q&A with Joe Thompson, director of the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Center to Prevent Childhood Obesity
- Thoughts from Nemours President and CEO Dr. David J. Bailey
As Bill Dietz said at the conclusion of today’s conference, the “original goal for this meeting was having the right mix of people in the room. Not just the right people to exchange information,” he told the audience, “but the right people to act on it afterwards.”
“I think we’ve accomplished that.”
