Founded by James. O Hill, PhD and John C. Peters, PhD, America On the Move Foundation (AOMF) is a national non-profit organization located in Denver, CO. Our mission is to improve health and quality of life by promoting healthful eating and active living among individuals, families, communities, and society.
We do this by:
- Bringing scientists and non-scientists together from multiple disciplines in order to synthesize and stimulate new knowledge.
- Translating cutting-edge science into accessible information for easy use by individuals, groups, and communities that can positively affect health behavior.
- Empowering individuals to take control of their health by making and sustaining small measurable changes to their daily eating and activity routines.
- Encouraging public and private partnerships at the national, state, and local level to build programs that reach individuals and communities and support sustainable behavioral change.
Our research shows that small, specific changes in food and physical activity behaviors can have a positive effect on health and effectively stop weight gain. America On the Move (AOM) provides web-based programs, tools, and resources to individuals, families, groups, and communities of all types and sizes.
Together, with the support of our partners and sponsors, we're working to create a movement that inspires more people to make positive changes every day.
