Road Sheauxs
What is the Road Sheaux?
Greaux Healthy, an evidence-based public service initiative by LSU's Pennington Biomedical Research Center in partnership with the State of Louisiana focused on preventing and treatment childhood obesity in Louisiana, is hitting the road! We're meeting you where you are, no matter what corner of the state you live in. The statewide tour with the Healthy Moves bus is visiting all regions of the state to engage with communities and showcase available resources to help prevent and treat childhood obesity. We'll be meeting with community leaders, healthcare providers, educators, and governmental and business leaders at every stop. Hope to see you at one of our stops!

Pennington Generation
Traveling with the Healthy Moves Bus is the Pennington Generation team. The team is recruiting Louisiana families for a long-term research study to learn more about how physical activity, nutrition, sleep and other factors affect children’s health and growth. It’s part of the Greaux Healthy initiative, powered by Pennington Biomedical Research Center. We will use what we learn to help create effective programs that will come to life in communities across Louisiana through the Greaux Healthy initiative.
