Empowering Change through Healthy Opportunities

Who We Are:

       

Empowering Change through Healthy Opportunities, (ECHO) is a not-for-profit organization that provides individuals and families with educational programs and recreational activities to promote greater health and fitness.

Take a moment to think about your health:

 

78% of Americans do not meet basic activity level recommendations, 58 million Americans are overweight, 40 million are obese and 3 million are morbidly obese. Being overweight or obese increases the risk of health conditions and diseases including: Breast Cancer, Coronary Heart Disease, Type 2 Diabetes, Sleep Apnea, Gallbladder Disease, Osteoarthritis, Colon Cancer, Hypertension and Stroke. Over the last ten years the percent of unhealthy families in the United States has increased. In the Metropolitan Milwaukee area, one in five children is considered overweight. With the generosity and commitment of people like you, ECHO is working towards changing these statistics one step at a time.
