Our Work

BE HEALTHY BERRIEN

Working to build healthier places to live, work, learn, and play in Southwest Michigan.

Our Mission

Be Healthy Berrien is a union of organizations working to reduce and prevent obesity with policy, systems, and environmental changes.


Our Goal

Be Healthy Berrien’s goal is to decrease the percentage of obese adults by 10% from 39.9% to 35.9% by 2020.  We are committed to doing this by improving systems and creating healthy places that accommodate the differing needs of all community members.

Our Objectives

Increase the percentage of adults eating 5 or more servings of fruit and vegetables daily by 10% from 17.1% to 18.8% and from 7.3% to 8.0%. among 18-24-year olds

Decrease the percentage of adults who report no leisure-time physical activity by 10% from 30.2% to 27.2% and from 16.2% to 14.58% among 18-24-year olds

Increase the percentage of adults who report adequate aerobic physical activity by 10% from 45.1% to 49.6% and from 49.1% to 54.0% among 18-24-year olds
