| Greetings from the MaineHealth WOW! Team! |
Happy Holidays! We at the MaineHealth WOW! Program hope you are enjoying this 'most wonderful time of the year.' Our feature foods this month are festive, Vitamin C-rich cranberries and oranges. This December's WOW! recipe combines both in a Zesty Cran-Orange Applesauce.
As we mentioned in the December WOW! Newsletter, this month the WOW! Spotlight is on Healthy Children and Families.
The MaineHealth Learning Resource Centers also offer a variety of classes that focus on family health. For more information, call 1.866.609.5183.
