If people would put down the greasy groceries, throw away the cigarettes, and pour out the alcohol, and start eating more leafy greens, some of these problems would be solved. Thanks to the Partnership and to Anthony for their hard work. PS – Emily is awesome too!

I hope that the coalition can help bring awareness to these issues, especially given the statistics in South Carolina. I know too many people affected by these diseases and lack of education and solid preventative health certainly play a role.

I think it's great that they focus on important health issues in the state and that they can get such a diverse group to work together. I hope we can see more progress towards better preventative health.

Obesity is the top preventable cause of many chronic diseases like diabetes and heart disease that are affecting more South Carolinians every year. The fact that the PFCD has been able to unite 100 partners, all in the name of shedding light on issues like this is impressive. This organization will be doing South Carolinians as well as the rest of the country a great service if it succeeds in pushing health care to the forefront of the presidential candidates' campaigns, forcing them to up the ante and bring about real change.
