Nutrition at Church Health

Why do we eat what we eat? Emotions, habits, traditions, and convenience all play a role. Sometimes we just never learned to cook! The nutrition that comes from healthy food prevents disease and fuels full, active lives. That’s a good reason for all of us to dig in and understand the food we eat. Church Health’s Nutrition Hub provides access, education and training for our patients and neighbors to learn and love to make healthy meals. Bite by bite we will build a healthier community.    

Education

We know developing healthy eating patterns and making smart food choices helps with weight management and lowers the risk for chronic diseases. That’s why Church Health offers our patients education and training through registered dieticians, health coaches and online courses.

Online education offered:

Collaboration

Church Health collaborates with partners across the county to ensure all Memphians have access to nutritious foods so they can build healthy bodies and strong minds.
