Community and Public Health Nutrition
A fresh perspective
Improving knowledge, attitudes and behaviors
We strive to implement programming, policy and environmental interventions where people live, work and learn to support a positive food and nutrition perspective and establish healthy habits.
Connecting clinic to community
