Partnership/Type: Office of Military Community and Family Policy
Status: Current Project
5210 Healthy Military Children is a community-wide initiative developed to improve child health. It strategically spreads a consistent, positive message about the daily health behavior recommendations throughout communities where families work, live, and play: 5 or more servings of fruits and vegetables, 2 or fewer hours of recreational screen time, 1 or more hours of vigorous physical activity, and 0 sweetened beverages. The 5210 Healthy Military Children campaign is evidence-informed and supported by recommendations from groups like the American Academy of Pediatrics, the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, and the National Association for Sport and Physical Activity.
