Health Education & Cooking Courses
Kirby Medical Center has partnered with the Cerro Gordo and Bement School Districts to provide education via a Nutrition and Cooking class with their 7th-grade students. The classes are built upon basic skills learned in Health Class. Students learn about choosing healthy foods and develop basic cooking skills. Wellness is incorporated into each segment and will target an aspect of the wellness wheel. Daily life skills are taught through meal planning and preparation labs within the kitchen setting.
Several experts will provide in-class and hands-on education sessions including registered nurses, hospital administrators, registered dietitians, and wellness professionals.
