EatMoveGrow is a federally funded grant program that offers a wide variety of engaging programs to children, families, community organizations, and schools in rural, underserved communities across Southeast Louisiana. Our primary mission is to close health gaps and create opportunities that promote stronger health environments for children. EMG is currently promoting a pilot program to create a partnership between rural health clinics and elementary school in rural parishes to increase resources and information sharing to both the schools and their families. The program is also partnering with Louisiana’s Office of Public Health’s Community HealthWays program to offer families assistance through their community health worker program. The EMG program is hoping to increase the awareness of resources within these rural communities by offering information to the schools and their families.
