Newsletter #15 Here’s Helen
First up, a big pat on the back goes out to the team behind the BeWell Community Nutrition Service. As our lead story explains, they were named the overall winners at the NMDHB's Health Quality and Innovation awards last week. Andrew, Jane, Naomi and Marion have done a great job in establishing their unique model for nutrition service delivery. It's a huge honour to be recognised as the region's best health innovation and the NPA team is proud of your efforts. Well done! Secondly, I'd like to issue you all a challenge - the Spring Challenge. The NPA team have already done the swim (check out our story and pics). We've all got buckets of potting mix on our desks for the office corn-growing competition. And we've just started the Spring Strut Stride. It's a great way to build team morale and introduce a few healthier options heading into summer. Like our slogan says: take up the challenge, get into fresh foods, get into action and get healthy as!
