A healthy community is vital, so weight management programs are a primary objective. Between the years 1990 - 2008, the national obesity numbers have grown from 5,000 to 55,000. Obesity is a high risk factor for heart disease.   The Gold Medal School Initiative was born from the 2002 Winter Olympics.
