VOLUNTEERS NEEDED
Student Medical Volunteers Needed
 
Obesity has proven to be
a destructive epidemic affecting our children, families, and healthcare
system
in the Maryland, Washington DC and Virginia regions and the nation.  The
Healthier You Initiative (includes Healthier You Fit Kids Initiative) was
created
to motivate, empower, educate and provide accountability to residents as
they
strive to live a healthy lifestyle.
 
We will be hosting 3
different events at 3 different locations and need as many volunteers as
possible. We will be providing FREE manual blood pressure and body
composition
