BHC-SK is a 10-year initiative where communities are taking action to make where they live healthier. They are doing this by improving employment opportunities, education, housing, neighborhood safety, unhealthy environmental conditions, access to healthy foods and more. The goal: to build healthy communities for the next generation.
The purpose of the BHC-SK Internship Program is to assist the BHC-SK Action Teams in their efforts to engage the youth and members of the communities of South Kern (Arvin, Greenfield, Lamont, and Weedpatch) in their work. It is also for interns to explore service and career opportunities within their home community, and to help them contribute to the work of BHC-SK and the strengthening of the communities of South Kern.

Many States Show Declines /Muchos estados muestran disminuciones
Obese children are more likely to become obese adults and suffer lifelong physical and mental health problems. Obesity rates in low-income preschoolers, after decades of rising, began to level off from 2003 through 2008 and now are showing small declines in many states. However, too many preschoolers are obese. State and local officials can play a big part in reducing obesity among preschoolers.
obesos y de tener problemas de salud física y mental de por vida. Las tasas de obesidad en niños en edad prescolar de bajos ingresos, tras décadas de aumentos, comenzaron a estabilizarse desde el 2003 hasta el 2008 y ahora están mostrando pequeñas disminuciones en muchos estados. Sin embargo, demasiados niños en edad prescolar son obesos. Los funcionarios estatales y locales pueden desempeñar un rol importante en la reducción de la obesidad entre los niños en edad prescolar.
