Clinton County is one of four counties in the U.S. selected to receive a technical assistance award from the National Association of Counties (NACo) as part of the group's Childhood Obesity Prevention project.
The four counties will receive consulting services from the NACo expert health policy and program staff to enhance efforts already underway to encourage kids to lead healthier lives.
NACo President Don Stapley said local governments play an important role in fighting childhood obesity.
"Not only does obesity threaten our nation's health, but it leads to substantial financial costs to local governments and the overall health care delivery system," Stapley said. "I commend Clinton County and the other three award-winning counties for being national leaders in developing effective solutions to healthier living for our young people."
The other counties which also received the award Maricopa County, Arizona, Douglas County, Nebraska and Cascade County, Montana.
