APTA has become a partner in You Can! Steps to Healthier Aging, a national outreach campaign designed to increase the number of older adults who are active and healthy by encouraging them to eat better and move more. The US Administration on Agings campaign is the aging component of the Department of Health and Human Services' Steps to a HealthierUS Initiative.
The You Can! campaign is taking direct aim at the rising epidemic of chronic disease and obesity among Americans of all ages, including older adults. As a You Can! Champion Partner, APTA encourages its members to join the campaign and spread the word about the importance of making healthier lifestyle choices. To sign up, visit the You Can! Web site. After enrolling, you will receive a toolkit and recognition. You also will have access a partners-only Web site that offers networking opportunities and valuable online tools and information for conducting and publicizing community outreach activities.
