Kern Health Systems (KHS) partnered with two Kern County schools to implement a school-based Walking and Wellness program for the 2015-2016 school year.
Students who participated in the Program from Pioneer School (K-8) in Delano and Jefferson Elementary School (K-5) in Bakersfield experienced a measurable change in their health from daily walking and good eating habits.
