WESTVILLE – Purdue University North Central Early Childhood Education and Nursing programs have received a grant from the United Healthcare UnitedHealth HEROES program.
The PNC program, “Countdown to a Healthy Start,” focuses on establishing positive relationships with families to foster children’s healthy development and prevent childhood obesity.
During weekly visits with community partners, PNC students will collect information about the specific needs of organizations to support families in establishing healthy habits and school readiness.
The students intend to host family events in community in April and will share information about the factors that contribute to a healthy start to school.
