To address North Carolina's growing obesity epidemic, commissioners of the Health and Wellness Trust Fund partnered with Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina to launch an initiative promoting physical activity and healthy eating—Fit Together. Fit Community, a component of the Fit Together campaign, is a designation that rewards communities for their efforts to promote physical activity, healthful foods, tobacco-free schools and healthy work environments.

The Fit Communities series on North Carolina Now highlights areas that have made positive policy change toward healthful living.  The series is funded in part by the Fit Together partnership, an initiative of Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina and the North Carolina Health and Wellness Trust Fund.  Active Living By Design has contributed additional information for the series and web site.  More >>>
