Make someone's day a little brighter with a hand-delivered e-mail greeting!

Infectiously contaminating kids of all ages, everywhere, to learn, have fun,

and make great life choices. Let the epidemic begin!


HealthWorks! helps young people realize how the choices they make now can affect the rest of their lives.

HealthWorks! is filled with imaginative, interactive exhibits that appeal to kids of all ages, including:

Kids make our skin crawl!
If they want to. Kids can climb up a wall that looks like skin and features things we all find on our bodies from freckles and hair to pimples and wrinkles. As they climb and learn and giggle with friends, they also get some exercise.

Brain Theater
Ever wonder how an organ the size of a grapefruit manages to do it all? This exhibit allows students to step into Kelly’s mind and be miraculously transformed into a neuron. Kids get an inside tour of the ultimate data center…the amazing brain!

Dr. Nose-It-All
Mirror, mirror, on the wall; who’s the brightest of them all? It’s Dr. Nose-It-All, the M.D. who’s smartest of all! Kids test their knowledge about the ears, nose, skin, colds, allergies, asthma and diabetes against the wisest doc on the block! He’s animated, he’s wise-cracking, and he will tickle your brain and challenge your intellect.

Decisions Diner
This exhibit allows participants to select meals and snacks for a day. Set up to resemble a diner, the students stand in front of a video food tray to make their selections. The tray is then analyzed for “GO, SLOW, and WHOA!” foods with an emphasis on maintaining a proper daily balance of food.

Supersize Drink Exhibit
Shaped like a gigantic drink cup, this exhibit features four stations with stair stepping machines attached. It demonstrates how much exercise it takes to burn off the calories in a variety of drinks. It emphasizes that eating or drinking more calories than you need is not good for your body, and that when you exercise, your body can burn up the extra calories. It also reminds kids that water is always a great beverage choice.

Face Your Future
This exhibit utilizes futuristic aging software to teach students how their skin is affected by sun exposure, smoking and obesity.
