I just wanted to write to thank you again for coming to Shrine On Wednesday and speaking with our students. After talking with them this morning, they really liked having the opportunity to talk to a Doctor with so much knowledge about the topic. A lot of students were able to ask questions that pertained directly to their research paper that they are writing for English class. It was also a nice change of pace for them. Your presentation was a good way to get some new information and review some previously covered topics without the monotony of coming to class. Thank you again for your time and expertise. Both the students and the faculty really appreciate it.

—Tim Dobrzeniecki, Shrine Schools

Over 25% of all children are either overweight or obese, putting them at an increased risk for developing adverse medical problems as they get older. C.H.I.P. hopes to curb this trend by introducing students and their families to the positive benefits of healthy eating habits and physical activity. The programs mission strives to promote, develop, implement and maintain these healthy cardiovascular living ideas to children and their parents and to incorporate these virtues into their daily lives.

The award winning Children's Health Initiative Program (C.H.I.P) is led by community health professionals in partnership with both school and business leadership. The 5 week CHIP program was introduced in 2004 as part of its demonstration project to 3rd to 5th grade students in the Royal Oak and Southfield Michigan public schools, with much success and enthusiasm from the students, parents and community members involved. There is no cost for your district to offer the CHIP program to your students. The CHIP model is standardized so it can be applied and expanded in every community at any age however it is flexible enough to be customized according to the needs of your community.
