DAAN™ inspires healthy choicesA healthy living initiative support by Buffalo Hospital FoundationAs Americans, we take for granted that life expectancy will improve with each generation. The Centers for Disease Control reports that, for the first time in 100 years, children's life expectancy is projected to decline due mainly to poor lifestyle choices around inactivity, nutrition and overweight. Minnesotans are gaining weight at a faster pace than the rest of the nation with a 132 percent rise in obesity since 1990, while the nation rose 110 percent. That’s why Buffalo Hospital Foundation created DAAN, a transformative initiative to foster a healthy, balanced lifestyle in children and adults by inspiring wise nutrition and activity choices. To learn about how you can bring DAAN™ to your school, community or workplace, call 763-684-6800 or e-mail the program director. DAAN (dâ on) is a Native American term that means to live a healthy, balanced life. DAAN services can be found in area schools, workplaces and the community. Learn more DAAN and its services through links at left. DAAN was made possible thanks to the inspirational gift of $1 million by Barb King, a Delano, MN entrepreneur and owner of Landscape Structures, Inc., an international playground equipment manufacturer.
