Commitment to Healthy Communities (CHC)

In collaboration with the Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation, the Center has been working to create and pilot a benchmarking system to assess the design, performance, and impact of food and beverage industry-sponsored community health programs in order to identify the best practices to maximize health impact and return on industry investment. Output from this work feeds into a common platform for collective impact to spur further innovation and cross-sectional collaboration.
