Partnership for a Healthier America Progress Report

Since July 2012, Altarum’s Center for Healthy Child and Youth Development has served as the lead third-party verifier of partner commitments made to Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA). In this role, Altarum works with PHA and their partners to establish verification processes and tools designed to measure the extent to which partner agreements made are kept and how these commitments are affecting children and their families in ways such as creating healthier child care environments, increasing access to healthy foods, and creating more opportunities for kids to play.

The results from Altarum’s work are highlighted in PHA’s annual report, which features progress made on each partner commitment to date as well as overall measures of the success of PHA’s work in combating childhood obesity.
