As part of our Healthy for Life® initiative, we are proud to be working with the American Heart Association to improve the health of Americans 20% by 2020. Healthy for Life 20 by 20 introduces a unique health impact partnership model where a preeminent health advocacy organization and a leading food company work together to leverage their combined reach and resources as part of a multi-year collaboration designed to help millions lead healthier lives.

Recognizing the scope of the public health challenge, this innovative model works to: 

  • Impact the food environment through healthy menu commitments.
  • Engage our consumers through health awareness, education and marketing programs.
  • Support under-served communities through community based nutrition education curriculum combined with culturally relevant and family centric cooking classes.
  • Improve the health and wellbeing of Aramark employees and their families through extensive workforce wellness programs.
