Nutrition Education for All!

Cornell Cooperative Extension Schoharie and Otsego Counties introduces healthy-connections.us, a new nutrition education program for residents of Schoharie, Otsego, and Montgomery Counties. This program will mirror CCE’s current nutrition education program—EFNEP. Its addition, provided by a partnership with the Rural Health Education Network of Schoharie, Otsego, and Montgomery Counties—RHENSOM, will allow CCE to reach audiences not currently served by the EFNEP program.

A nutrition program educator will offer this free nutrition program to individuals and groups of all ages in the three counties served. The program offers participants a hands-on opportunity to learn more about making healthy low-cost meals, how to save time and money with meal planning, using the food label to make better choices, and exploring new ideas for staying active. The healthy-connections.us program starts participants reaching goals by making small steps that can lead to healthier living.

If better health through nutrition is your goal, you can join the program and participate in a 4-6 lesson series where you can learn with others in a group, or you can schedule one-on-one lessons with our educator. The program is also available for a one-time group lessons, a one-on-one lesson, or special events.
