Methodist Le Bonheur Healthcare launched Healthier 901, a challenge for Mid-Southerners to lose a million pounds in three years. More than weight loss, Healthier 901 aims to reduce our community’s risk of heart disease and cancer, which are the two leading causes of death in Shelby County, TN, and DeSoto County, MS, respectfully, according to our recent Community Health Needs Assessment. These two conditions are linked to obesity and Memphis bears the weight as the second heaviest city in the country. Studies show maintaining a healthy weight can lower the risk of heart attacks, cancer, and other chronic conditions. Commit to a Healthier 901 and join the movement.
