While the monetary awards for the Florida’s HEROs Recognition Program have come to a close, the work continues. Thank YOU for putting the health of your children first and dedicating your lives to ensuring children in Florida grow up healthy and strong. We appreciate all of the support and encouragement from our partners, especially Nemours Children’s Health System, over the past five years. We could not have made this program possible without you!
About Us & Funding Source Summary
Florida’s HEROs: Healthy Environments for Reducing Obesity is a program managed by the Health Council of Southeast Florida and previously funded by Nemours Children’s Health System from 2018 to 2023. We work to support Early Care and Education (ECE) Programs in their application of best practices related to nutrition and physical activity by providing free technical assistance and continuing education opportunities. We also recognize ECE providers for taking proactive, voluntary steps to improve their programs’ practices and policies related to the best practices. We work closely with a group of ECE stakeholders across the state of Florida to expand the recognition program and include obesity prevention best practices and supports into the state’s ECE system.
