Celebrating Those Who Serve
Childhood obesity is at a record high - endangering the immediate and long term health of today's kids.
Childhood obesity is largely due to poor nutrition and inactivity, so how do you teach nearly 800 kids about eating healthy and staying active and make it fun and tasty at the same time?
Answer: Wellness Clubs sponsored by Partnership for a Healthy Lincoln in the Community Learning Centers - and we couldn't make it happen without ServeNebraska and AmeriCorps members who lead the clubs.

Partnership for a Healthy Lincoln is a non-profit organization dedicated to improving and protecting the health, wellness, and fitness of Lincoln's children, families, and seniors.
We work to improve wellness policies and conduct community level health research. We collaborate with community partners to promote healthy weights through good nutrition and fitness, improve child and maternal health by supporting breastfeeding, create better patient outcomes by increasing cancer screening and vaccination rates, improving chronic disease management, increasing preventative outreach, and standardizing clinical practices. During public health crises like the COVID 19 pandemic, we help to protect community health by providing science and evidence-based information.
Partnership for a Healthy Lincoln also works to improve health equity in our community, addressing disparities among racial and ethnic populations with the highest burden of chronic disease. Systemic racism is also a threat to community health. We stand in solidarity with everyone who is fighting for greater equality and justice for all.
