Be Well Communications Board on a bulletin board

Community Education

Bradley County Medical Center is happy to offer free health education to the community with different events throughout the year.

Recently, BCMC has partnered with CURA Hospitality (the hospital's dietary provider) to hold several events that are free of charge and open to the public.

The BeWell Campaign is CURA's approach to helping people eat healthier and make better decisions about their nutrition. Healthy menu options in the BCMC Cafe are marked with a blueberry icon. There are also BeWell Communications Board around the facility as well that guide staff and visitors toward healthier eating habits.

Some of the topics covered through the public nutrition education events so far are meal-prep strategies, the connection between nutrition and sleep, the role of your diet in bone health, and the role food can play in stress management.

Additionally, BCMC has partnered with CURA to hold several Diabetic Education Classes with general education about the disease along with how to navigate the holidays if you're a diabetic or care for someone who is.

Stay tuned to BCMC's social media platforms to find out when the next classes will be.

If you are needing help with nutrition or just have questions about your diet you can ask a dietitian by phone at 870-226-4344 or by email at BCMCaskadietitian@curahospitality.com.
