PCA Programs
Faithfully Fit
Does your church, synagogue, temple, mosque or other faith-based group need to eat healthier foods and exercise more? Let us help you start at Wellness Committee at your place of worship. PCA staff will be glad to meet with you and fellow members to determine what sort of program best fits the needs of your congregation. If you already have a program in place and are planning or would like to plan a health fair, please contact us. We’ll be happy to come out and perform free height/weight/BMI screenings.

Healthy Heroes is also planning additional programs in more schools across the state, so check back frequently for updates.
