As part of our ongoing work in eliminating health inequities by making it easier for people to move more and eat healthily, C.H.E.F. has been instrumental in the development of Active Options for Aging Americans. This Web-based tool is a locator to help older adults, health care providers, information and assistance specialists, and others identify appropriate and accessible physical activity programs for older adults. Active Options also assists physical activity program providers reach and recruit more older adults into their programs, and will help them identify gaps in the programs currently being offered in a community.

In Washington State, King, Spokane and Pierce counties are actively promoting Active Options within their communities. To learn more, go to www.ActiveOptions.org or contact Karen Lewis at 1-800-323-2433, ext. 1905 or KarenL@chef.org
