In fall of 2016, the Mary Black Foundation (MBF) began a new four-year initiative within the focus area of Healthy Eating | Active Living: the Spartanburg Healthy Schools Initiative (SHSI).
MBF’s long-term goals for the work of Healthy Eating | Active Living are three-fold:
- to reduce rates of and eliminate disparities in chronic conditions among all Spartanburg County residents;
- to reduce percentages of and eliminate disparities in childhood obesity; and
- to achieve health equity, such that disparities in health outcomes will have decreased.
