What is Live Healthy Dallas?
According to the Center of Disease Control, an estimated 65% of U.S. adults ages 20 years and older are either overweight or obese, defined as having a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 25 or higher. In addition, more than 60% of the U.S. adult population does not engage in the recommended amount of physical activity and 25% are not active at all.

The goal is to impact individual behavior and the culture of work sites and communities to incorporate health into everyday life.
