What we offer

Nourished on Any Budget Pláticas - Community Conversations: Metro Health Community Nutrition invites the community to participate in free ¡Viva Health!: Nourished on Any Budget Pláticas -Community Conversations. These one-hour conversation sessions are facilitated by Community Health Workers and aim to help participants feel empowered to incorporate more fruits and vegetables in ways that honor their lifestyle and cultural needs. Participants will discuss practical tips for easy meal preparation, ways to add more fruits and vegetables to meals on any budget, and foods that support overall health.
