Join the Movement #ForHealthEquity
Submitted by CHC
Tomorrow, March 11, 2021, will be a momentous day at CHC: Creating Healthier Communities, as we recognize CHC Giving Day #ForHealthEquity. Leading up to this national day of action which marks the one-year anniversary of COVID-19 being declared a pandemic we have been rallying communities, companies and nonprofits to join together to advance health equity. I encourage you to join us, as this is a movement for as long as it takes, not a one-day event.
Here at CHC, we are rooted in the belief that health is about much more than healthcare. Research has shown that the experiences we have and the conditions we face each day as we live, learn, work and play what researchers call the social determinants of health have more to do with how healthy we are, as people, and as a population.

Meigs Health Matters… National Nutrition Month
Meigs Health Matters - By Sara Hill
Fun fact March is National Nutrition Month. This is a month to focus on the importance of making more informed choices on your diet. The American Heart Association states the recommended consumption of fruits is 4 servings per day, with vegetables at 5 servings per day. These guidelines are for teens and adults, leaving children with a recommendation of 1-2 cups of fruit and 1-3 cups of veggies per day. Variety is important, as each fruit and vegetable have their own nutritional benefits. The more colorful your plate or snacks, the better.
