What We Do
The Med Instead of Meds class series helps citizens to Go Med by exploring 7 simple steps to eating the Med Way. Participants learn Med tips, life hacks, and recipes that will help them eat the Med Way every day. Cooperative Extension Nutrionist EB Odom, along with Health Educator Kysha Gary, meet with citizens once a week for six weeks during lunchtime.
Who We Serve
Free registration is available to any Northampton County citizen.

Progress in 2021-2023 Cycle
