Health World was founded by a group of community residents led by Peter Rusin, CEO of JFK Medical Center at the time. The rising number of health-related issues confronting children and adolescents concerned this group of community leaders. They chose to focus and build health curriculums dedicated specifically to the needs of children pre-K through 8th grade. In 1995 Health World opened the $12 million,[2] 85,000 square foot children’s museum ‘JFK Health World’ in Chicago, Illinois.[3] Health World has since taught over 4,000,000 kids about making healthy choices.[4][5] The museum would teach kids about making correct health choices, as well as give safety information and lectures to kids, such as teaching the Heimlich maneuver.[6] In 2006 Health World expanded its regional education efforts when it closed the museum and transitioned to outreach education. In 2013 Health World made its preK-8th grade programs and education resources available nationwide via an online eLearning platform. Currently Health World programs are being utilized by educators in all 50 states.
