Today, two out of three South Carolina adults and one out of three children are

overweight or obese. obesity has become a major contributor to the diseases that

kill the most people in our state, make the most people sick and cost our state the

most money to treat.

The South Carolina obesity action plan, released in the fall of 2014, details evidence-based strategies and activities to guide partners in reducing the burden of obesity in our state over a five-year period. The plan outlines 74 objectives that promote policy, systems and environmental changes to advance healthy eating and active living in communities across South Carolina.

The SCale down initiative was launched at the beginning of 2015 to engage stakeholders statewide in achieving the objectives of the obesity action plan. in addition, this initiative strives to connect and mobilize stakeholders who are working to reduce and prevent obesity, to eliminate duplication of efforts and to better promote achieved successes. The South Carolina institute of Medicine and public health facilitates the SCale down initiative in partnership with the South Carolina department of health and environmental Control (SCdheC).

Many partners support SCale down through their involvement on the initiative’s leadership and evaluation teams and across each of the five workgroups (child care, community, health care, schools and worksites). These workgroups provide ongoing opportunities to engage stakeholders in activities that address the objectives

in each setting of the obesity action plan. each setting has a uniquely defined focus:

• Community - improve the community environment to increase access to affordable fruits and vegetables, education about healthy eating and physical activity and to provide more opportunities for safe physical activity.

• Worksites - improve employees’ health by implementing evidence-based worksite wellness strategies to reduce obesity risk factors and prevalence.

• health Care - improve patient care by enhancing the health care system’s ability to effectively diagnose, counsel and refer patients to needed obesity treatment, nutritional counseling and support services.

• Schools and Child Care - improve children’s health through the use of evidence-based strategies that promote healthy eating and physical activity.

The 2014-2019 South Carolina obesity action plan is meant to be a living document – growing, changing and evolving as our state hits key benchmarks or new needs arise.

Thanks to the collaborative work of numerous partners—including the South Carolina Business Coalition on health, SCale down is gaining momentum and is making strides in addressing obesity in South Carolina. This positive energy is reflective of the many innovative approaches being used to achieve the objectives of the obesity action plan.

SC FiTneSSGraMpotentially reaching over 740,000 South Carolina public school students, SC FitnessGram will allow students to set their own health-related fitness goals, help school administrators make curricular and policy choices for physical education and offer a way for teachers to manage and communicate student fitness information to students and parents. during the 2014-2015 school year, a pilot was successfully implemented in six public school districts across the state. With the success of the pilot project, more than 75% of schools across the state have now signed on to participate in the second phase of the SC FitnessGram program this coming school year.

a healThier STaTeThrough grant funding from The duke endowment, SCdheC and the South Carolina hospital association have partnered to conduct baseline worksite assessments and offer wellness consultation services to the Governor’s

office, all 16 cabinet agencies, the South Carolina department of Mental health and SCdheC. This initiative, which has been branded “a healthier State: Make every Workday Great,” impacts nearly 35,000 state employees. The purpose of a healthier State is to assess, implement and help maintain effective worksite wellness environments and policies within these 19 organizations to help reduce health care costs, increase employee productivity and reduce absenteeism.

healThy ConneCTionS nuTriTional CounSelinG poliCyThe South Carolina department of health and human Services (SCdhhS) implemented the nutritional Counseling policy on august 1, 2015. adult healthy Connections Medicaid members with a BMi of 30 or greater who are committed to losing weight through diet and exercise are eligible for an initial screening and five additional face-to-face behavioral counseling visits/encounters with their health care provider. in addition, SCdhhS now recognizes licensed dietitians (lds) providing nutritional counseling services for obesity as a provider type under its managed care and fee-for-service programs. eligible participants must receive a referral from a physician to receive an initial dietitian visit for nutritional counseling and five follow-up visits. nutritional counseling-related

treatment for children will continue to be covered as a part of the healthy Connections Medicaid early periodic Screening diagnosis and Testing (epSdT) program.

The MoTher Friendly ToolKiT The Mother Friendly Toolkit assists faith-based organizations with promoting and supporting a family’s decision to breastfeed by creating a mother friendly environment within the faith community. developed in partnership by SCdheC, eat Smart Move More South Carolina, palmetto health richland and the South Carolina Breastfeeding Coalition, the toolkit includes information on the benefits of breastfeeding, helpful tips and steps a faith-based organization can take to create a mother friendly environment, examples of outreach activities and a section of resource and support tools. The Mother Friendly Toolkit is free and will soon be available online on the SCdheC and SCale down websites.

The FaiTh and healTh GuideFaith communities play an important role in providing social support, community leadership and positive reinforcement to individuals interested in making lifestyle changes to achieve and maintain health. The Faith and health Guide is designed to provide resources and programs that can be used to promote healthy behaviors in congregations and

community organizations. developed collaboratively by SCdheC staff, the guide provides program descriptions and easy links to websites and other health-related resource tools. The Faith and health Guide is free and will soon be available online on the SCdheC and SCale down websites.

The GroW healThy FlorenCe piloT proJeCTGrow healthy Florence is a pilot project being implemented in five child care centers in Florence. The goal of Grow healthy Florence is to support aBC Quality child care providers in their efforts to provide healthy eating and active living environments by: 1) becoming a preventing obesity by design (pod) demonstration site, 2) engaging children and their families in nutrition and physical activity initiatives occurring at the child care center and 3) increasing access to fruits and vegetables by linking centers to local food growers. each participating pilot site will receive training, design assistance and technical support to create an outdoor environment that encourages physical activity, healthy eating and lifelong learning.To learn more about SCale down, visit www.scaledown.org.
