Staff at the HealthFirst Family Care Center
celebrated National Nutrition
Month on March 18, 2011 with a pot luck luncheon featuring a variety
of tasty and healthy dishes. 'We do this every year," commented WIC
Health and Nutrition Community Coordinator Lisa Alves, "and everyone
enjoys it." Local legislators and City Councilors are invited each
year to join in the festivities and to learn about the importance of
supporting program like Women,
Infants and Children Health and Nutrition Program
that operates out of the Center on County Street. A particular concern at
the Center is the rising
incidence of childhood obesity in Fall River. National
Nutrition Month is a nutrition education and information campaign
sponsored by the American Dietetic Association. The campaign is designed
to focus attention on the importance of making informed food choices and
developing sound eating and physical activity habits. Click
