We strongly believe that:
  • The Medical Community ALONE is NOT going to solve the obesity problem.
  • The School Community ALONE is NOT going to solve the obesity problem.
  • The Research Community ALONE is NOT going to solve the obesity problem.
  • The Private Foundations ALONE are NOT going to solve the obesity problem.
  • The Business Sector ALONE is NOT going to solve the obesity problem.
  • The Grass-roots Organizations ALONE are NOT going to solve the obesity problem.

… and that Collaboration may be the only way we can solve the obesity problem for the City of Houston and beyond.
