Please join us on October 14th at the CIGNA Foundation forum on Growing Up Healthy: Raising Children in an Urban Environment at Temple University in Philadelphia. The full-day event (8:00am-4:30pm) will explore what’s required to help kids make healthy choices, and how we can work together to create healthier environments where our children live, learn and play.

The morning session features noted speakers and local examples of what caregivers can do to send a healthy message. The afternoon is dedicated to considering the role of the community — business, health, education, non-profits, government, faith, and caring citizens — to improve the social and environmental conditions that are the major determinants of children’s health.

The afternoon dialogue will be facilitated by Communities of Health, and will bring together multiple perspectives on:

• What determines children’s health in Philadelphia?
• What is making a positive impact in the city?
• What is the best path forward?

We welcome all as we consider the potential of a Communities of Health initiative in Philadelphia. The event is open to the public at no charge on a first-come, first-served basis. Registration is online.
