Every year, organizations who are involved in childhood wellness are urged to join together in honor of Child Health Day to help increase awareness of child health issues such as prenatal care, injury prevention, immunizations, and healthy lifestyle.American healthcare organizations hold events to provide communities with necessary resources to improve childhood well being. The Health Resources and Services Administration offers a wide array of information for parents and schools about many issues, including child obesity prevention and healthy lifestyle choices. Today, according to the Center for Disease Control, approximately one-third of American children and teenagers are overweight or obese. This rate is now nearly triple the rate recorded in 1963. Obesity in childhood increases the likelihood of health problems later in life, such as diabetes.

"Here at Health Professionals NYC we treat many children everyday with preventable ailments, things that can be avoided with a healthier lifestyle and a knowledge of simple safety tools. The health of our children is very important; they are our future," says Health Professionals NYC Chief Operating Officer Emanuel Inoyatov.
