UNC-TV has teamed with Fit Together, an initiative of the NC Health and Wellness Trust Fund and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina, to present the series Fit Communities on North Carolina Now.
The Fit Community initiative is a designation and grants program that recognizes and rewards North Carolina communities’ efforts to support physical activity, healthy eating, and tobacco use prevention initiatives in the community, schools, and workplaces.
The initiative is one component of Fit Together, a partnership of the NC Health and Wellness Trust Fund (www.HealthWellNC.com) and Blue Cross and Blue Shield of North Carolina (www.bcbsnc.com). This statewide prevention campaign is designed to raise awareness about the problem of obesity and to equip North Carolina individuals, families and communities with the tools they need to improve their health through increased physical activity and healthy eating.
Active Living by Design is a national program established by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and is located at the North Carolina Institute for Public Health at the UNC School of Public Health in Chapel Hill.
