The Urban League of Greater Chattanooga announced a health initiative today aimed at combating obesity among black women throughout the city.
“Chattanooga has shown an increase in obesity, and the target population is African American women,” said Julia Taylor, project manager for the Urban League. “We did our own research where we looked at one community and we realized it was a city-wide problem.”
Campaign organizers now are recruiting participants for Sisters Together: Move More, Eat Better, a 12-week exercise and nutrition program for women, ages 18 to 35, set to begin this July.
