The University of Toledo Medical Center and the Andersons are teaming up to help keep us fit, with the Eat Healthy, Be Healthy campaign launching this fall inside Andersons stores. The campaign aims to point customers toward a healthy lifestyle by guiding them to nutritious food choices. Signs within the store will identify options recommended by UTMC dietitians, who along with physicians will give regular presentations. The campaign kicked off in August with a UTMC Wellness Expo at the Andersons Toledo store, and will feature informational events the second and third Wednesday of every month at various Andersons locations.
On Sept. 19th take a grocery shopping tour with UTMC clinical dietitian Kate Ormiston at the Talmadge Rd. store, and on Oct. 10th ask Dr. Lawrence Monger all your pressing wellness questions at the Sylvania Ave. location. 6pm. Call 419-893-5050 for details. Facebook.com/TheAndersonsStore. —MD
