County Profiles

A County Profile has been created for each of North Carolina's one hundred counties. The profiles highlight local accomplishments that increase opportunities for community members to eat smart and move more wherever they live, learn, earn, play and pray. However, they also point out the need for more policies and environments that help make healthy eating and physical activity the norm, rather than the exception.

The profiles suggest ways in which we all can join the effort to help people achieve a healthy weight. Find your County Profile and celebrate your county's accomplishments, while also learning how you can be a part of future success! It will take all of us working together to reverse the rising tide of obesity.
