Alliance for a Healthier Generation Inc.

At the Alliance for a Healthier Generation, we are at the forefront of revolutionizing children's health through a dynamic, technology-driven approach. Founded in 2005 by the American Heart Association and the Clinton Foundation, our organization was born from the need to combat the rising tide of childhood obesity with innovative and scalable solutions. We engineer systemic change by transforming the environments where children spend their time: schools, community centers, and homes. Through groundbreaking agreements with the food and beverage industry, we have pioneered new nutritional standards, leading to a remarkable 90% reduction in beverage calories shipped to schools and making healthier food choices more accessible and affordable nationwide. Our innovation extends to healthcare, where we launched the landmark Healthier Generation Benefit, a program that predated the Affordable Care Act and established insurance reimbursement for childhood obesity prevention and treatment, impacting millions of children.

Our technological prowess is central to our mission's success. We have developed a sophisticated suite of digital tools and platforms that empower educators, families, and community leaders. Our strategic technology initiatives, led by a dedicated team of full-stack engineers and user experience designers, have enabled a complete transition to cloud-based services and the modernization of our data and reporting infrastructure. This robust technological backbone supports programs like America's Healthiest Schools, the nation's largest school-based health prevention model, which uses an evidence-informed assessment tool to guide schools toward creating healthier environments. By leveraging data analytics and digital product development, we create scalable, evidence-based solutions that address the whole child, from physical and nutritional health to social-emotional well-being. Our commitment to innovation ensures we are continuously evolving to meet the complex health challenges facing the next generation, making a healthy future a reality for every child.
