and
Mid-Ohio Valley Rural Health Alliance Presents
"Dining with Diabetes" Good nutrition and sensible eating habits can help prevent many diet-related diseases. In recognition of the importance of good nutrition and the link between nutrition and chronic problems such as heart disease and cancer, the Mid-Ohio Valley Rural Health Alliance in conjunction with WVU Extension Office will present "Dining with Diabetes" nutrition and cooking class on Tuesday, June 8, at the Grantsville Volunteer Fire Department from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m. Featured displays will improve participants' awareness of healthy eating and the risks of unhealthy diets, and includes individual physical assessments, as well as displays on obesity, fad diets, the food pyramid, the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) eating plan, and taste testing. Participants will have time to visit each of the displays before taking their seats for the cooking demonstration. Kathy Carol, a provider from Ritchie County Primary Care, and Patty Morrison, Wirt County WVU Extension Agent, will be conducting cooking demonstrations and talk about proper nutrition for controlling diabetes. Because tasting is believing, everyone will have an opportunity to sample these tasty treats. In addition, all participants will receive a free cookbook, "Mix and Match Meals in Minutes". "Dining with Diabetes " is free of charge. Space is limited to 35 participants. To avoid being turned away at the door, you must make a reservation in advance. Contact Jim Sullivan at 354-9244, extension 160 or e-mail at jsullivan@mhhcc.com to make reservations. "Dining with Diabetes" is funded by a Community Based Initiatives grant through the West Virginia Bureau for Public Health. The grant was awarded to the Mid-Ohio Valley Rural Health Alliance (MOVRHA), whose members include Camden-Clark Memorial Hospital, Sistersville General Hospital, Ritchie County Primary Care Association, Wirt County Health Services Association, Minnie Hamilton Health Care Center, Mid-Ohio Valley Health Department, Little Kanawha Area RHEP, and WVU-Parkersburg.
