Mission & Goals
Family physicians are well-positioned to improve the health of patients who are overweight and obese. We know their families, their environment and their communities. Because we see millions of patients each year, even small successes in treatment of these diseases are likely to have far-reaching effects.
Mission
Americans In Motion (AIM) is an AAFP initiative designed to improve the health of all Americans by implementing a multifaceted fitness program addressing physical activity, nutrition and emotional well-being in the individual, family and community.
Goals
- Encourage family physicians to be fitness role models.
- Improve family physicians’ ability to positively affect the fitness of their patients.
- Enhance the awareness of the family physicians’ unique ability to promote fitness within their communities.
AIM is sponsored by the American Academy of Family Physicians and is supported by educational grants provided by core supporters. Current Silver Level supporters include AAFP Foundation and National Dairy Council.
