Snow Hill, MD - Get the whole family involved in adopting a healthier lifestyle with the Worcester County Health Department’s new program Healthy Worcester Families.

Sessions are two hours per week over the 8-week program, and a free family dinner will be provided at the start of every session. Families can receive up to $100 in Amazon gift cards and other incentives for participation in the program. Topics covered will include communication skills, healthy behaviors, financial literacy, and other skills to strengthen the family connection.

The fall session will begin Thursday, September 21, 2023, from 5:30 p.m.-7:30 p.m. at the Worcester County Health Department (6040 Public Landing Rd. Snow Hill, MD).
