About Us
State-Funded Health Information Research
At Health Matters, we are committed to investing our expertise and resources to provide relative and current health information to Arizona communities throughout the state. We have been working to keep Arizona residents informed of pertinent health information since 2020. Our efforts have improved the health of our community members and prevented the economic and emotional impacts that poor health can cause.
Are Our Children Inactive?
Statistics from the Centers for Disease Control state that:
​

Less than one-quarter (24%) of children 6 to 17 years of age participate in 60 minutes of physical activity every day.
-
In 2017, only 26.1% of high school students participate in at least 60 minutes per day of physical activity on all 7 days of the previous week ("CDC healthy schools," 2020).
