Launch Program at the Portage Township YMCA Learning About Nutrition

Laura Zmuda, degree in Public Health Promotions, spoke with Y-Care participants about healthy food choice alternatives and the various food groups available, as well as how to categorize the food and what to look for when reading food labels.

This program is another great benefit having St. Mary Medical Center as a partner. Better Together!

The LAUNCH program provides the opportunity for each child in the Y's School Age Child Care program to eat fresh fruits and vegetables at least three days a week, to participate in active play at least one hour each day, and to learn about health and nutrition so they can learn to make positive choices for themselves in the future.
