Healthy Kids NOW (Healthy Kids of Northern Westchester) is a coalition of leaders drawn from healthcare, education, government, civic and business organizations, and the broader community. Its members form a network to coordinate efforts with counterparts and others to promote the fitness and healthy nutrition of children in our region. This coalition was founded by the President's Council of Northern Westchester Hospital.

The vision of Healthy Kids NOW is to make Northern Westchester a model community for raising healthy, fit children who adopt an active lifestyle, eat nutritiously, and have a positive sense of well-being.

Your participation is heartily welcomed.  Please share with us your comments, websites you've found helpful, and other information by contacting us. It is our hope that this website will reflect your interests and concerns, be educational, and connect the good works of community groups working to support the growth of healthy children here in Northern Westchester.
