LearnHealthy America

We empower school leaders to improve nutrition, physical activity, and health education policies for students, teachers and staff.

LearnHealthy America began as Zone Health, a North Carolina-based program developed by Prevention Partners with generous grant funding from GSK. Over 10 years, the initiative grew from a paper-and-pencil tool to a web-based assessment and resource library.

To date, 119,431 students at 78 North Carolina schools have benefited from improved nutrition and health education, increased physical activity, and healthier policies affecting everyone in the school.

We are rolling our experience with Zone Health into a more encompassing product, LearnHealthy America, to help schools and districts across the country.
