Press Mentions

"Bright Promises Perky at 140th Birthday" Skyline, January 14, 2010.

 

West Town is one of the most ethnically diverse Chicago neighborhoods; it would seem there is a wealth of options for healthy meals.  Yet many people there suffer from the same health-related issues as in other low-income neighborhoods.  Junk food is cheaper and accessible, people are stretched for time and don’t exercise enough –multiple challenges often prevent people from making health a priority.

Jose Alatorre, the Education Director at Northwestern University Settlement Association, is determined to change the mindset about health and nutrition in West Town.  He therefore created a Wellness Policy as part of the Healthy Behaviors Initiative where staff model and enforce a healthy lifestyle.  School age children and their families also receive a variety of classes, focusing on cultures represented in the neighborhood.
