This month we are excited to recognize MORE HEALTH Board of Directors President, Cindy Rose. As is the case with many of our passionate supporters, Cindy first learned about MORE HEALTH from Karen Buckenheimer's enthusiastic explanation of our mission to provide health and safety education to children, teens, and adults. At the time there was a perfect opportunity and fit to partner with All Children's Hospital.

Obesity rates are at the highest ever experienced in the United States and is defined as having a BMI of 30 or greater. Body mass index (BMI), the measurement utilized to determine obesity, is based upon the height and weight of a person. The higher a person's BMI, the higher the risk for development of conditions including heart disease, diabetes, and certain types of cancer. The latest data from the Centers for Disease Control reports that 40% of American adults and 20% of adolescents (6-19 years of age) are obese.
