Salem Township Hospital’s Registered Dietitian and Nutritionist, Caroline Boehne, has announced her new bi-monthly nutrition education sessions, called ‘Nutrition Nights at STH.’ The sessions are free and open to any community member looking for help in making informed choices about nutrition and healthy living.
Each session will include engaging presentations, opportunities for discussion, practical take-home tips, and a healthy snack. Topics may include healthy aging, heart and brain health, meal planning, grocery shopping, hydration, protein needs, nutrition myths, and more.
The first meeting will be held on Tuesday, July 28th, at 85:30 pm in the Salem Township Hospital Linda Mobley Community Room. The topic will be ‘Food as Medicine: Small Choices, Big Impact.
Community members are encouraged to attend as many sessions as they wish, as each program will feature a unique topic to help participants live healthier, more active lives. An RSVP is requested to reserve your spot, as space is limited. You can contact Caroline at (618) 740-1688 or e-mail ckboehne@sthcares.org.
Boehne says nutrition is one of the most powerful tools we have to support health and prevent chronic diseases, yet many people don’t know where to start or believe it’s too late to make a difference. Nutrition can also feel overwhelming, especially with so much conflicting information available. Boehne says one of the most rewarding aspects of her job is helping people discover that healthy eating doesn’t have to be complicated. Her goal is to provide community members with practical tips and evidence-based information that make improving health through food and nutrition affordable, achievable, and enjoyable.
