Blueprint

On January 8, 2013, CLOCC released the Blueprint for Accelerating Progress in Childhood Obesity Prevention in Chicago: The Next Decade.

The Blueprint was created after a year of strategic planning with national and local experts to create goals, objectives, and strategies for Chicago, in order to make a substantial difference in childhood obesity rates in the city. This innovative and comprehensive plan is the first of its kind, placing nationally identified best practices in a coordinated framework specific to Chicago.
