It Starts in Healthcare 

Pediatricians, primary care physicians, and other healthcare professionals, are credible sources for health and wellness messages across the lifespan. They also play an integral role in the health of our communities. Introducing our 5-2-1-0 messages for healthy lifestyles is a natural fit for our healthiest weight goal and gives providers easy tools and messages to share with their patients and families.
