Our mission is to expand
Med-South across the Southeastern US!

• We want to help everyone in the Southeastern US realize the health benefits of giving Southern food traditions a Mediterranean influence. That’s our WHY for wanting to spread Med-South.
• We have successfully trained public health practitioners to deliver this program as part of research studies and have now adapted the training to address the needs of health departments, health centers, and other community organizations so they can offer Med-South to their patients, clients, employees, or community members.
• We will provide ongoing technical assistance and program materials, including a participant handbook, cookbook, recruitment materials, and tools participants can use to track their progress.

Med-South training includes self-paced online modules on nutrition and physical activity and a series of 3 live webinars on program delivery and implementation. It is designed for staff at local health departments, health centers, or community organizations who provide patient education. This includes nurses, dietitians or nutritionists, health educators, social workers, or community health workers.
