Going to California: Food and Health’s Next Adventure

Press Release: A Move for Food and Health Communications, Inc.

Food and Health Communications, Inc. was founded in Florida. Once the innovations and creativity of the Colorado food scene became irresistible, founder Judy Doherty, PC II, moved the company to Louisville. There, Doherty spent years learning about the factors that made Colorado one of the healthiest states in the nation. After many years growing the business in Colorado, however, Doherty realized that it was time to move the company elsewhere. In a few weeks, Food and Health will be starting up new headquarters in California.

The websites, email, and contact information for Food and Health will all remain the same. Plus, since the Food and Health team is spread out across the world, there will be no changes made to the staff. Even the shipping facility in Michigan will not move, since that location is perfect for speedy shipping across the United States.

So what is changing?

The home address of Food and Health Communications will now be…

Food and Health Communications, Inc.
164 Robles Way, #290
Vallejo, CA 94591

Customers and members of the media can still reach the team at Food and Health by phone at 800-462-2352 or by fax at 800-433-7435.

The promising food scene in California, especially the farmers’ markets, wine country, ethnic cuisine, and fantastic restaurants all proved to be too inspiring to ignore. With this move, Doherty can offer new resources for health educators based on all the fresh ideas and inspiration to be found in California. Since Food and Health Communications, Inc. is one of the leading suppliers of nutrition and health education materials for professionals, this move to a new locale will offer the opportunity to grow and innovate, driving the team to create new products and resources for everyone who might need them.

Louisville, CO (PRWEB) October 23, 2012

Food and Health Communications, Inc., a private publisher, announces the launch of a new blog designed to help families cook together and put better food on their tables with less time and money.

The Chef’s Tips for Healthy Family Cooking Blog is online at NutritionEducationStore.com, and will feature the work of chefs, dietitians, and home economists who team up to write articles, provide shopping lists, and offer great ideas for cooking with kids.

In addition to English, the blog can be converted to almost any language. Teachers can also easily turn blog posts into PDF files, which they can then copy and hand out to students.

The top article, 15 Ways to Help Kids Love Healthful Foods, features the journey that Judy took with her own son. He started as a very picky child and ended up as a teen who could cook any meal, even going on to attend Stanford University’s “Problem of Food” Summer Session with his class at Stanford’s OHS. This plan will help families end battles at the dinner table and turn dinner from a chore into a place for precious family memories. Readers will be delighted to gain great ideas like discovering and growing herbs with children, slipping fruit platters in front of video game players, and setting a better table, sometimes even in the child’s room!

Everyone will delight in the tips and tricks included in the article, What’s Your Cooking Style?. Identifying a child’s passions and interests will help build a family into a great cooking team.

Founder and Chef, Judy Doherty, PC II, says, “I have always believed that every child should experience good food at every meal.” She taught her son and his friends to cook, starting when they were toddlers. She is also the author of No Battles, Better Eating, a book about how to engage kids in many fun culinary projects. She advocates joy at every family meal. Judy is a graduate of the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, NY.

Her counterpart, family and consumer science expert, Cheryle Syracuse, MS, is currently working on a series of articles to help families make better decisions in the grocery store, based on health, budget, and other key factors.
