All Colorado students, with a focus on early childhood and low-income schools

What is it?

Longmont United Hospital (LUH) partners with Healthy Learning Paths (HLP), a non-profit organization whose mission is to empower children to lead healthy lives through the Be Well, Learn Well^® school program. LUH medical professionals are trained in the program and volunteer in schools. Using a science-based curriculum, they take students on a journey to become young scientists exploring how the body works. Students discover how to make choices to keep their bodies healthy and their minds happy.
