“There is such value in programs that focus on preventative measures. It means kiddos can live a life without chronic illness. If they have the knowledge to create behavior change that nourishes their bodies, we can prevent chronic illness such as obesity, which leads to type 2 diabetes, hypertension and heart disease.”
"One of the things that my parents imparted to me was a deep love for the community that I live in. I was always told that, whatever community you live in, or that you're a part of, you need to participate and raise the level of that community whenever you can. And that's kind of the way I feel here."
“There are a lot of scenarios that contribute to kids falling through the cracks with healthcare. Maybe a parent who carried the insurance lost their job and they’re in a window where they don’t have coverage. Or they just got here and they’re getting their footing.”
