Healthy U

"Last but not least, our final CATCH Award, the "CATCH Award for Excellence in State Health," goes to Healthy U! CATCH users since 2008, Healthy U efforts have included nutrition education and increased physical activity in schools and YMCA childcare settings across the state of New Jersey. Partners like you are vital to help our mission grow!"

CATCH is an evidence-based and award winning curriculum that was created in 1992 by national education and child health experts at The University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, School of Public Health (UTHSC) and the Michael & Susan Dell Center for Healthy Living."
