Nutrition Education
HUSKY Health’s Nutrition Education Program is designed to help families make healthier food choices. Through hands-on, interactive sessions, we provide parents and children with the knowledge and tools they need to improve their eating habits. Our goal is to inspire lasting changes that promote health and well-being for years to come. We provide two essential programs to support families in their pursuit of better nutrition:

foods), and teach them how to make smarter choices for better health.
Both Sugar Rush and Fat Attack™ are designed to give families the tools they need to make informed, healthier choices in their daily meals. Through these programs, parents and children learn to read food labels, create balanced meals, and adopt habits that promote overall health, increasing nutrition awareness throughout the community. We encourage families to take part in these programs, which are a fun and informative way to improve eating habits and support better health. Together, we can build a healthier, more informed community – one meal at a time!
