The Canyon Ranch Institute (CRI) is a non-profit that works to bring health and wellness to the world. Home to Tucson, Arizona (30.3% Latino), the organization helps their community in various ways. Bringing a Healthy Community program pilot to the area back in 2014, the CRI Healthy Community program is now offered in partnership with Apollo Middle School and the Grow 2B Fit Foundation to bring wellness and health to the families in Apollo Middle School (98.1% Latino) .
The start date for the CRI Healthy Community is set for this fall, October 24th, 2015. Participants can learn from cooking and nutrition classes, destress with physical activity and join together for healthy eating with the on site garden.
The program focuses on participants with low income, high stress and high rates of chronic disease, hoping to help them improve their happiness and health.
