Dawn Richards, Community Health Nurse at Southern Ohio Medical Center, visited the Active Acorns Winter Team’s meeting and taught the students about healthy eating and the importance of physical activity. The students always enjoy her fun and interactive presentations. SOMC is one of the sponsors of the Active Acorns Club at OHES.
