The Partnership for a Healthier America (PHA) is a nonprofit created in conjunction with - but separate from - First Lady Michelle Obama's ''Let's Move!'' initiative to combat childhood obesity. PHA works with the public, private and nonprofit sector to broker commitments and develop strategies to address the epidemic. Obama serves as PHA's honorary chair, alongside honorary vice-chairmen former Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, and Mayor Cory Booker of Newark, New Jersey. The mission of PHA is “to end childhood obesity within a generation by serving as a nonpartisan convener across the private, non-profit and public sectors to accelerate existing efforts addressing childhood obesity and to facilitate commitments towards the first lady’s national initiative.” 〔Yancey, Antronette. Let’s Move! and Partnership for a Healthier America: Opportunities for Employers. UCLA Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Equity. Web. 10 Oct. 2012〕 Core activities of the organization include: (1) developing a strong membership of network leaders across sectors with commitment to scaling meaningful and measurable solutions; (2) convening members annually to affirm, align and announce commitments; (3) promoting broad understanding among all sectors about the role healthy food, physical activity and the environment play in reversing the childhood obesity epidemic; (4) facilitating and measuring the impact of members’ commitments against clear and transparent targets; and (5) connecting potential partners in the private and nonprofit sectors to each other and to the correct points of contact in government to ensure efficient leveraging of actions, sharing of knowledge and lessons learned both at the community, state and national levels.〔 ==Commitments and Partnerships== Current partnerships and commitment include: All-Clad, Birds Eye, Blue Cross and Blue Shield Association, Bright Horizons, Brown's Super Stores, Calhoun Enterprises, The California Endowment's FreshWorks Fund, ChildObesity 180, Darden, The Fresh Grocer, The Healthy Weight Commitment Foundation, Hyatt Hotels, Kaiser Permanente, Klein Family Markets, The Links, Inc., National Governing Bodies (NGB) of the United States Olympic Committee (USOC), Produce Marketing Association, US Olympians Association and US Paralympics, USA Cycling and USA BMX, US Paralympics, U.S. Soccer Federation, USA Swimming, USA Track & Field, USA Tennis, the US Olympians Association, USA Field Hockey, USA Volleyball, USA Gymnastics, US Olympic Committee, New Horizon Academy, Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, SUPERVALU, Walgreens, Wal-Mart, and The YMCA.
