Program Summary:
The Junior League of Chattanooga’s partnership with Ronald McDonald House Charities of Greater Chattanooga/T.C. Thompson Children’s Hospital provides children with healthy starting points for nutrition and fitness at Hamilton County elementary schools and other community sites through the Ronald McDonald Care Mobile. At each school or site, children participate in the Smartmoovz program and may receive dental treatment. Smartmoovz teaches good nutrition choices during a low-impact aerobic exercise class, in which all children can participate regardless of athletic ability. The Care Mobile provides full-service dental treatment for children with TennCare or without dental insurance.
