Partnership For a Healthier America
PHA partners with colleges and universities across the nation to create campus environments that encourage and support greater physical activity and healthier eating habits.
In October of 2018, an MOU was executed between the University of Florida and the Partnership for a Healthier America. This document identifies 23 guidelines across the areas of food/nutrition, physical activity/movement, and programming that the university will complete in a three year time frame. These commitments will help move UF towards delivering healthier options and promoting more opportunities for physical activity to help improve the overall health of our campus.
University units involved include:
- IFAS, Department of Food Science & Human Nutrition
- Recreational Sports & GatorWell Health Promotion Services
- Business Services & Aramark
- Student Affairs Office of Assessment & Research
- Office of Sustainability
- Dean of Students Office
- Field & Fork Program
- Healthy Gators Coalition
