Healthiest Nation

HealthLead™ Accreditation

HealthLead™ is a game-changing initiative of US Healthiest. HealthLead recognizes employers for meeting recognized standards to promote health and well-being among their employees. It is designed to provide a competitive edge to organizations; both in the eyes of the financial community and in attracting prospective employees as a "best place" to work.

Healthy Communities

Advertising and Childhood Obesity

The National Bureau of Economic Research projects that a ban on advertisements of fast-food on television, “...would reduce the number of overweight children aged 3-11 in a fixed population by 18 percent and would reduce the number of overweight adolescents aged 12-18 by 14%.”
