Project Healthy Schools (PHS) is one of only a few school-based programs that have demonstrated significant and lasting improvements in health behavior and cardiovascular risk factors. PHS has also been proven by data analyses to improve student health outcomes and behaviors.

On February 24, join PHS and the Michigan Clinical Outcomes Research and Reporting Program (MCORRP) in a virtual conversation about the value of evidence-based school health programs. This is an opportunity to learn more about the data, results, and future plans.

After the implementation of the PHS program, analyses of both behavioral and physiologic measures have shown significant improvements in students’ cardiometabolic health and lifestyle behaviors. This ongoing analysis of PHS is possible through a successful, 18-year partnership between PHS and MCORRP, a research lab founded by Dr. Kim Eagle, Albion Walter Hewlett Professor of Internal Medicine, Director of U-M’s Frankel Cardiovascular Center, and PHS co-founder.

The virtual “Community Conversations with Project Healthy Schools” event takes place Thursday, February 24, 11 a.m. – 12 p.m. Register now.

Since 2004, Project Healthy Schools has grown to over 147 schools and 43 Michigan counties. Over 88,500 sixth-grade students have been reached to date. Learn more about PHS.
