Zone Health helps schools improve their nutrition and physical activity environments to give students, faculty, and staff more opportunities to eat healthy food, be physically active, and improve their overall health. At present, 25 teams from schools and school districts across the state have been trained to use Zone Health, bringing school wellness and obesity prevention initiatives to over 76,000 students, faculty, and staff across North Carolina. Trained Zone Health teams have most commonly addressed physical activity and staff wellness in action plans for improvement.

The Zone Health program is supported by the NC State Board of Education and the Department of Public Instruction as a valuable program to help establish healthy environments, policies, and programs at schools, as outlined in the following resolution. Thanks to generous support from GlaxoSmithKline Community Partnerships Zone Health will continue to support schools in making changes for healthier students and staff.
