Supporting healthier eating one veggie at a time

For the past five years, Essentia Health has partnered with Crow Wing Energized on "One Vegetable, One Community."

The initiative promotes healthy eating through a range of interactional programs, educational material, seed and recipe-sharing, and the selection and promotion of a “vegetable of the year.”

As part of Essentia’s involvement with Crow Wing Energized, almost 1,500 people have participated in National Diabetes Prevention Program classes since 2019, and more than 800 people joined in a “Rethink Your Drink” challenge to encourage water consumption.
