Building a Healthier Chicago (BHC) is a collaborative of local and national stakeholders working to strengthen efforts to promote the health of Chicago residents and employees.

Building a Healthier Chicago will arm readers with the information needed to combat physical inactivity and obesity, which have reached epidemic proportions in the U.S.

You can read the articles on mylocalhealth. You can also view the digital magazine here.

The hospital section also gives a map of the hospital as well as the address and contact information. Site users can use the weight calculators to figure out a healthy weight and how to reach their weight goals in a healthy manner.

The forums are set up to give readers the opportunity to talk about the health and wellness topics that matter to them most with others, and to get different ideas for solutions.

We encourage our readers to do the same.
