Dear Fellow Tennesseans:

For more than four years, we have been creating a movement to get people moving. We’ve been encouraging and enabling them to eat better, stay away from tobacco, and to join together to make Tennessee healthier. This grassroots effort has grown to include friends, families, and neighbors in more than 100 communities across this great state. It has provided simple and free tools and programs to help people take small steps that lead to big change–incremental improvements in how they feel, how resistive they are to diseases, how productive they are, and how long they live.

Members of the movement have accessed Healthier Tennessee resources at work, at worship, at school, and at home, so that today more than 2,000 workplaces with more than 150,000 employees have connected to our toolkits, about 500 places of worship have discovered ways to make the physical wellbeing of members part of their spiritual journey, and every elementary school in Tennessee has at least one classroom with students getting more physical activity during the school day at no cost to the school. Nearly 100,000 people have tapped into our app or found help on our website, and tens of thousands of Tennesseans are changing the culture of health here, one community at a time.

This annual report provides information about the Foundation, how we measure performance and progress, and how we are doing compared to other states. It looks at the work of everyday citizens doing remarkable things in cities, towns, rural counties, and on college campuses. It also tells you about an important new caucus formed by state legislators to focus on the health and wellbeing of those they serve, and it lists those who lead, direct, and advise the work we do to make this a Healthier Tennessee. Thank you for reading it and for your continued support and engagement. Your partnership and the success we measure in communities in all 95 counties of the state keep me convinced that we can achieve our vital and challenging mission. I believe we can do this, with each other, one step at a time.

Sincerely,

RICHARD JOHNSONPresident and Chief Executive Officer

The Foundation tracks its progress and changes in near- and longer-term health indicators across the state. We consistently assess the number of Tennesseans who connect with our tools and programs %in workplaces, schools, places of worship, and local communities. %And we monitor surveys of health-related behavior conducted by the Centers for Disease Control and other organizations that compare the wellbeing of the people here at home with people across the nation.

In March 2015, groups of citizen volunteers from nine pilot communities–rural counties, towns, and suburban neighborhoods–stood on a stage in a room in the Capitol with Governor Bill Haslam and pledged to work to get the places they live officially designated as Healthier Tennessee Communities. Today, there are more than 100 places across the state that are working for that designation, and nearly half of them have achieved it.

Healthier Tennessee Communities is a primary initiative of the Foundation, and it had tremendous growth and positive impact in 2017. It has expanded to include a health-and-wellness community council in nearly every one of the 95 counties in the state, and Communities now include metro neighborhoods and college and university campuses.%%

Each community council sets measurable goals for increasing physical activity, improving nutrition, and lowering tobacco use in its area and develops a plan and a way to track and report progress. Members then get to work, engaging volunteers across the community, staging events, improving the built environment, teaching and engaging, and changing the culture of health in their hometown or neighborhood oron their campus. Their accomplishments are recognized in ceremonies with theGovernor and Foundation leaders, and they’re presented an official flag, commemorative plaque, road signs, and more–all to tell Tennessee, and the world, that their communities are now healthier, better places to work, worship, learn, and live.

The Tennessee Legislative Wellness Caucus was created by members of the Tennessee %General Assembly in 2017 to focus on health and wellness issues. It is a bipartisan group %of elected leaders who understand the tremendous importance of making this state healthier, led by co-chairmen Senator Bo Watson and Representative Ryan Williams. With 37 charter members, the Caucus will concentrate on the causes of our state’s extremely high rates of chronic, behavior-related diseases like Type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and cardiovascular disease. Members will also address the severe economic impact that these adverse health conditions have on Tennessee, with a recent study reporting the cost to be in excess of $5 billion every year. The Foundation will provide staff support and other assistance to the Caucus and collaborate on proposed policy changes and wellness-related legislation.

Caucus Members

The coming year will be more of the same but include some new steps, too. We will continue to help our local partners cultivate healthier communities across Tennessee. Getting more and more people involved in local programs and action steps that get us all moving more, eating healthier, and staying away from tobacco are our number-one priorities. And we will also continue our efforts to improve the health of young children and families, with tools and programs delivered at the community and neighborhood level.

But we are also planning a course that will take us on a new path, one%that increases our role as advocates for public policies that encourage and enable better health, regulations and policies in workplaces that make them healthier, and programs that allow students to be more active during the school day. And we will do our best to make sure more people understand that health issues are economic issues, too.

We remain grateful that you are walking with us.
