Our Healthy Kids Project (HKP) here at ACCESS aims to promote healthier lifestyles for children, ages 5-10 years old, and their parents through active learning about physical activity, nutrition, environmental health and mental health. The goal of HKP is to try to help make living a healthy life fun and easy while engaging not only children but parents. This is the perfect opportunity for families to learn how daily behaviors impact personal health now and their influence on future health. It is possible to make a large impact by just a small change. Group sessions include height, weight, and blood pressure screening for children, health screenings and referrals, food preparation techniques, how to read nutrition labels, physical activity opportunities, safer household cleansers and a fieldtrip for families who attend regularly.

In his questions at the Agriculture, Nutrition, and Forestry Committee hearing on the Reauthorization of U.S. Child Nutrition Programs, Senator Dick Lugar asked Secretary of Agriculture Tom Vilsack to elaborate on how the Departments of Health and Human Services, Education, and Agriculture plan to collaborate to improve school nutrition and lower incidences of childhood obesity. Citing recent reports that about 75% of our nations 17 to 24 year olds are ineligible for military service because of poor health and education, Senator Lugar encouraged Vilsack to continue to work with Secretaries Duncan and Sebelius to better connect federal nutrition programs with education and health programs not only to help our young people be better citizens and parents, but also to strengthen our national security. Likewise, Senator Lugar asked Secretary Vilsack to comment on how USDA and the Obama Administration propose to finance expansions to federal nutrition programs in the upcoming child nutrition and WIC reauthorization bill.

Led by Professor Peter Davies, Director of the Childrens Nutrition Research Centre, a group of passionate researchers is dedicated to improving the health of children and young people through scientific research and education of the highest international standard in the field of nutrition.
The Centre located at the Royal Childrens Hospital is at the forefront of paediatric nutrition research in Australia, and is working to better understand obesity and the best nutritional diet to manage or improve the condition in children.
The impact of the expanding waistlines in children is being seen on the hospital front line, with doctors now frequently diagnosing children with type2 diabetes and heart disease conditions previously only found in adults.
Researchers are also looking at the role nutrition plays in the treatment and management of sick children.
Good nutrition is a key element in growth, development and well-being in all children. This is especially so in children with chronic and acute disease, said Professor Davies.
Were very fortunate that we are able to employ a diverse range of internationally and nationally acclaimed experts including dietitians, gasteroenterologists and nutritionists so that we can work with doctors at the bedside to give kids every opportunity to regain good health.
