In September 2009, the Arizona Department of Health Services/Division of Behavioral Health Services (ADHS/DBHS) announced the start of its quarterly health initiatives. The first topic is “Obesity” which affects 31% of Americans. Obesity is associated with diabetes, heart disease, cerebrovascular accidents, hypertension and some forms of cancer. ADHS/DBHS is hoping that the first initiative will motive individuals to seek consultation with medical and behavioral providers or simply to make changes in their lifestyle.

The CHEEERS Health and Wellness Program started on January 21, 2010. To date several of our members have lost as much as 35 pounds each and are reporting that they feel much better!
