Allina Hospitals & Clinics awarded Annandale School District the 2008 Healthy Community Award for its integration of health and wellness education into its core curriculum across grades K-12.
In 2006, the district partnered with Allina's Buffalo Hospital to introduce students in the second, third and fourth grades to the new DAAN™ Youth Curriculum.
DAAN is an innovative initiative created by Buffalo Hospital to inspire wise nutrition and activity choices to prevent chronic disease among people of all ages in a community setting.
This video shows how through its consistent, integrated approach to health and wellness, the Annandale School District established a culture of wellness throughout its schools -- and within our next generation.
