When kids learn healthy behaviors, it sets them on a path to grow into happy, healthy adults. At Healthy Together, we’re working with community partners to help children establish healthy habits that will last a lifetime.

Led by Atrium Health’s Levine Children’s Hospital, the Healthy Together program aims to reduce obesity and chronic disease by creating environments that support healthy choices. And by partnering with schools, healthcare practices, childcare centers, out-of-school programs and workplaces, Healthy Together reaches kids and families where they live, learn, work and play.

The 5-2-1-0 message


Healthy Together promotes following 5-2-1-0, an evidenced-based message endorsed by the American Academy of Pediatrics and the American Medical Association.

What does 5-2-1-0 stand for? It’s a simple guide for practicing healthy habits each day.

  1. Icon 5 Eat at least 5 servings of fruits and veggies
  2. Icon 2 Spend 2 hours or less on recreational screen time
  3. Icon 1 Get at least 1 hour of physical activity
  4. Icon 0 Drink 0 sugary beverages

See how we’re building a culture of healthy living in our community – and raising a healthier generation of kids.

Get Involved


In order for kids to build positive habits, they need an environment that empowers them to make healthy choices. With a free toolkit full of resources and personal support from local program leaders, we make it easy to bring Healthy Together (and 5-2-1-0) to your site.

Our impact


While our work is far from done, we’re proud of the difference Healthy Together has made and know it wouldn’t be possible without community support. Together, we’re raising a healthier generation of kids – one child at a time.
