MHealthy

MHealthy is a health and wellness promotional program for U of M staff members. This program also encompasses Project Healthy Schools, a health initiative for local schools to improve physical activity and diet choices.


My day started off by going to a staff meeting where they discussed a big health fair they're going to be doing in September and October of this year. They're going to be doing cooking demos, having lots of health stations, and raffles and prizes. After the meeting, I met with one of the coordinators for Project Healthy Schools (PHS) in which she told me about what's going to happen tomorrow. I'm going to be going to a local area school to talk with them, promote, and give samples of asparagus! I also created a handout for tomorrow which gave fun facts and recipes for asparagus, and even a word search.


For the second half of the day, I went to a PHS site to figure out logistics of a field day that MHealthy is helping to put on. It was interesting to go to the schools and see the locations that MHealthy is working at and trying to help kids build healthy diet and lifestyle habits. 


Overall, I'm just ready to head back to the hospital.
