We had the BEST time recently at Cedarville Elementary School participating in UADA River Valley SNAP-Ed’s Farm to You program! 🌽🥕🍎

This interactive exhibit took students on a journey from the farm to the market, and then through the body — teaching them how food fuels our health every step of the way. It was a fun and educational experience that brought nutrition to life!

A big shoutout to Crystal Lougin, LPC and Director of Baptist Health Senior Care Behavioral, for delivering an impactful and timely talk at a safety seminar for city employees.

Crystal spoke on the importance of psychological safety, managing stress and burnout, and how fostering a culture of support and mental well-being helps employees feel safe and seen at work.

At Baptist Health, we believe community engagement starts with conversations like these — because safety isn’t just physical, it’s emotional too.
