Hialeah Healthy Families

Welcome to the Hialeah Healthy Families Channel on Yo Soy Hialeah. The Hialeah Healthy Families Community Plan was developed to Combat Childhood Obesity.

Four target areas were identified to focus the Hialeah Healthy Families initiative:

Environment
School Involvement
Parent Engagement
Social Marketing and Community Outreach
