Welcome
Welcome to the County of San Bernardino, Human Services System, Department of Public Health, Nutrition Program website. We are glad you're here and we hope you can find some helpful information while you are visiting us!
Our Vision
We see people motivated to make healthy food choices because they have access to a variety of competitively priced nutritious food, accurate nutrition information, and live in communities which foster health, balanced nutrition and physical activity.
Our Mission
Our mission is to promote optimal health by:
Forming alliances with the community, schools, public and private agencies, local print and broadcast media and businesses to promote healthy eating and physical activity;
Empowering families and individuals to choose and prepare nutritious foods and to be physically active;
Providing referrals to emergency food resources to those in need of food assistance and raising community awareness about food security.
The Nutrition Program staff respects family, ethnicity, and cultural values and traditions and supports the community working together to improve the environment for healthy options. We believe that individuals carry the responsibility
for making informed decisions regarding their health.
