Family Spirit

Family Spirit, anchored by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute’s We Can!^® Initiative, is dedicated to increasing family wellness and decreasing childhood obesity. Family Spirit is designed to encompass existing educational programming and community outreach efforts that address obesity and nutrition and motivate children and their families to take action for their health. This program encourages hospitals to forge partnerships with schools, insurance companies, health and fitness clubs and other organizations, as well as brand existing outreach to families under the Family Spirit umbrella.
