National Nutrition Month 2025
Food is a connecting factor for many of us. Food connects us to our cultures, our families and our friends. Sharing a meal is an opportunity to learn about its preparation, who made it and where the ingredients were sourced. Health, memories, traditions, seasons, and access can all impact our relationship with food. While these factors influence the foods we eat, the foods we eat also affect our health. Watch this webinar to learn more about how Food Connects Us!

We’d like to thank the following MCPHD employees for their participation: Olusegun Ajidabe, CHES, Dorcaste Elian, CHW, Martha Hoffman, MSW, LCSW, and Amanda Santiago, IBCLC. Read their stories here
