Eating Better. Moving More. At HealthPartners, our mission is to improve health and well-being in partnership with our members, patients and community.

PowerUp is one of the ways we bring this mission to life. With an emphasis on eating better and moving more, PowerUp reflects our commitment to take action to help prevent obesity and overweight, diabetes, heart disease, cancer and other chronic conditions, which disproportionally impact low income communities and communities of color. PowerUp has a four-part approach:
1. Programs and partnerships

with schools, food shelves, parks, faith communities and more
2. Outreach and education through classes, events, social media, newsletter and more
3. Influencing community norms around food and physical activity by supporting school wellness policies and guides for concessions, vending, food shelves and more
4. Resources for clinics, patients and health plan members

Moving more is important for growing bodies and brains. Being active helps build strong bones and muscles, increases energy and focus and can boost self-esteem.

Turn everyday moments into chances to move, play and explore! Whether it’s dancing in the living room, a quick game outside, or a family walk after dinner.
