Highmark Healthy High 5 is a 5-year, $100 million investment of the Highmark Foundation. Through Highmark Healthy High 5, the Highmark Foundation will improve the health and well-being of our kids and create a brighter future for us all.
Highmark Healthy High 5 has a mission to promote lifelong healthy behaviors in children and adolescents (ages 6-18) in Highmark's service area to ensure that they have healthy bodies and minds.
Through extensive research of emerging health issues, Highmark determined that it could improve children's health in our region by providing strong support for focused programs and encouraging new efforts. Studies illustrate that the health habits children develop at a young age will continue with them through adulthood, so it makes good sense to start children on the right path.
The Highmark Foundation has a long history of promoting children's health, demonstrated through funding and corporate leadership.
Through Highmark Healthy High 5, the Foundation affirms its commitment to support initiatives and programs aimed to improve community health.
