West Virginia University Extension Service in Morgantown is committed to keeping the West Virginia Family Nutrition Program in Calhoun and Wirt Counties.
Nancy Bremar, Nutrition Outreach Instructor who began her 9th year with the University in early May, will continue to serve limited resource families. Her office will remain in its current location; the Extension Office in the Calhoun County Courthouse.
FNP offers many nutrition and physical activity programs to help limited-resource families, youth, and adults improve their health. FNP targets the risk factors associated with obesity, cardiovascular disease, diabetes, hypertension, and other chronic diseases.
Similar programs report that every $1 spent on nutrition and health education leads to savings in health-care costs of between $3.63 and $10.64 over time.
If you would like more information on the Family Nutrition Program, you can call the Calhoun County Extension Office at 354-6332.
Classes are being planned now. The classes are free, fun, educational and open to anyone.
