Even though Eagle County was ranked as one of the healthiest counties in Colorado, our overweight and obesity rates continue to climb. In Eagle County, 46 percent of adults are overweight or obese, while 18 percent of Eagle County's children and adolescents ages 2 to 14 are overweight or obese. As part of the effort to help discuss health in our community, Eagle County Public Health is hosting a free screening of the HBO documentary "The Weight of the Nation" on Thursday at 6 p.m. at the Avon Public Library. Eagle County Public Health, in partnership with Avon Public Library and Vail Valley Medical Center, will screen two short documentaries. A comprehensive discussion and question-and-answer session will follow the screening, and refreshments will be provided. The event will be offered in English and Spanish.For more information, contact Jess Hankins at 970-328-8855 or
