Watch: Monthly Education Webinar Series from NWA & ASPHN
Beginning July 27th, NWA and ASPHN will offer monthly webinars to all NWA and ASPHN members.   All webinars will contain public health nutrition topics that have relevance to WIC clientele and/or WIC staff, but are broader than WIC-only content.

Did you know that the impact of public health
nutrition reaches beyond existing, traditional programs and
education?  Join us to see how state, local and private partners are working together in unorthodox ways to create synergy and environmental changes that support low income populations. 
 
"Healthy Food Access at  Corner Stores," 
July 27th, 3:00-4:00pm ET

This first webinar will provide details about the partnership between New Jersey WIC, The Food Trust, and the New Jersey Department of Health's CDC (1305) grant activities to improve food access in New Jersey through healthy corner store programming.   
 
The National WIC Association and ASPHN, through funding provided by The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, are collaborating to provide public health nutrition education.
