HealthCorps®, a proactive health movement founded by heart surgeon Dr. Mehmet Oz, is fighting the obesity and mental resilience crisis by getting American students and communities across the country to take charge of their health. Its three priorities are: 1) Educating the Student Body– our in-school program to empower and educate youth and faculty about their bodies, their environments and their abilities to affect them. 2) Creating a FitTown– Our community outreach to connect and empower citizens and organizations to bring about awareness and affect change through community based projects and events. 3) Advocacy: Our public outreach at the national, state and city levels to: Advocate for policy shifts that put health and physical education back into the core curriculum for the American education system and that move us towards healthier environments (food, transportation, public space design systems).
