About Healthy You

WXXIWSKG
Healthy You and Working on Wellness are collaborative efforts of WXXI, Rochester and WSKG, Binghamton. Working together, we are helping to keep our communities' kids and families healthy by teaching healthy behaviors. Through this project, WXXI and WSKG are addressing issues of child obesity and welness in Western and Central New York. The initiative is funded in part by a grant from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting.

Read the Press-Release

On Television

A special Healthy You Childhood Health Forum aired in late February 2010 on WXXI-TV and is now available to view online. It gives viewers an opportunity to find out more about child obesity in our community and learn about resources to help keep families healthy. The special page about the program contains a video of the full program as well as information about the expert panelists and links to related resources in these categories:

Healthy You television and multimedia segments promoting healthy behaviors for kids and providing supporting resources for families are seen every Monday during Homework Hotline at 5:30 p.m. and can be seen online in the Homework Hotline Video Player at homeworkhotline.org (also available as all segments on a single page)

On Radio

1370 Connection and Healthy Friday will feature shows on child obesity and wellness.

Listen to a recent program: "Dr. Nancy Bennett and Dr. Geoff Williams look at the state of people's nutritional health--could something like the proposed soda tax actually improve public health and help deal with the obesity epidemic?"
