Navajo County Public Health Services
Nutrition Services Program
The Nutrition Services program priorities are educating to shape food consumption
in a positive way and to promote health and prevent disease among SNAP participants
living in the county.
The key messages the project will focus on are: increasing the consumption of fruits
and vegetables, drinking 1% or fat free milk, and maintaining a healthy weight,
increasing the consumption of whole grains, and promoting cost-saving strategies
while encouraging healthy food choices.
