Healthy Androscoggin
and our partners are dedicated to increasing the health of youth in our
County. 20.5% of Maine youth smoke cigarettes, 24% are overweight or
obese and most do not consume the recommended daily amounts of fruits
and vegetables. These statistics are not only alarming but also
extremely detrimental to the future of our children’s health and the
health of our nation. Healthy Androscoggin has several ways we are
trying to positively impact the health of our youth…
