About
Welcome to Project Healthy America, a 501(c)(3) organization. Founded by Austin dentist, Dr. Karla Frazier, Project Healthy America is a collaborative program working with the community, youth, parents and businesses to promote physical and economic health among teens. Project Healthy America strives to improve the health and wellness of the community and deminish economic disparities, starting with the youth.Our mission is to help 10-17 year olds who are at risk for diseases related to overweight and obesity (e.g. diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, digestion diseases, stroke, respiratory disease, kidney disease, reproductive diseases, joint diseases and mental diseases) become healthier. In addition, we hope to help high school-aged youth who are in families that are socio-economically at-risk learn skills that will aid them finding employment, furthering their education, and improve their financial outlook. This is being accomplished through our programs: Fit Youth Initiative and Teen-to-Adult Program.Fit Youth Initiative will host annual Get Fit Summer camps to involve the community youth in phyical fitness activities and nutritional education. The activities are geared towards teaching the youth healthy fitness and eating habits that will help them lead healthier lives. Other fitness activities will occur throughout the year.TheTeen-to-Adult Program is focused on teaching the teens to been prepared for independance and financial responsibility. Economic conferences will be held to teach employment and post-secondary school readiness skills.Project Healthy America is now serving Austin and surrounding areas. It is not required that you be of a certain religion, nationality, race, or gender.
