History

A community health assessment led by the Thomas Jefferson Health District in 2012, called Mobilizing for Action through Planning and Partnership (MAPP), showed that approximately 28% of adults in the greater Charlottesville area were obese. To address this issue locally, many community leaders came together to plan the initial Move2Health campaign in 2013.

Move2Health also collaborated with the Community Action on Obesity (CAO) coalition. CAO was organized in 1999 to raise community awareness of the problem of obesity.  Its members shared a vision to support healthy weight for residents of our community.  Through this partnership, CAO was able to make a positive impact on community health. CAO has now passed the torch of obesity prevention to its community partners, including many current members of the Move2Health coalition.
