About Us

For the past three years NuPAC has worked with its partners to develop the O.C. Obesity Prevention Plan. This plan of action was made to address obesity in O.C. which has the second highest costs associated with overweight, obesity, and physical inactivity in California - an estimated cost of more than $3 billion. NuPAC has secured funding through the O.C. Health Funders Partnership (HFPOC) with a two year grant to implement the O.C. Obesity Prevention Plan.
