Pennington Biomedical researchers are internationally known for their contribution to the science behind metabolism, physical activity, nutrition, human behaviors, obesity, diabetes, cancer, and much more from cellular to population health. Each Greaux Healthy resource is built from this science.

Let's embark on this journey together, creating a future where every child has an opportunity to Greaux Healthy.

Greaux Healthy will involve community partners statewide. It will also serve as a model for how concerted action can impact the health of citizens of Louisiana and other states in the childhood obesity crisis.

A special thanks goes out to the state of Louisiana for providing funding for Greaux Healthy and to Pennington Biomedical Foundation Donors for joining the fight against childhood obesity by supporting the groundbreaking, evidence-based research happening everyday at Pennington Biomedical.
