Shape Up SF

Shape Up SF is committed to reducing health disparities by focusing on physical activity and nutrition, particularly the creation of healthy eating and active living environments. It is comprised of two branches: the Shape Up SF Coalition and the Shape Up SF Initiative. The Shape Up SF Coalition is a diverse collaborative of community stakeholders that focuses on advocacy and policy and secures sustainable funding for programs. In contrast, the Shape Up SF Initiative, run by San Francisco Department of Public Health, develops programs and opportunities for increased physical activity and improved nutrition through primary prevention and environmental strategies.

Shape Up SF aims to reduce health disparities by creating healthy eating and active living environments and improving physical activity and nutrition.
