Ep. 17: Maggie Perkins: Learning Healthy Living at the Poe Center

The Poe Center is a nonprofit organization dedicated to positively impacting the lives of North Carolina youth through health education. Since opening in Raleigh in 1991, the Poe Center has educated more than 850,000 participants from 76 counties using innovative teaching theaters, exhibits and offsite programs. By engaging in fun, highly interactive lessons, preschoolers through twelfth graders receive information that follows the NC DPI Essential Standards for Healthful Living Education on a variety of health topics, including nutrition, dental health, general health, family life and drug prevention.  Maggie Perkins is a Registered Dietitian with a focus in health promotion and family wellness. She has been a Health Educator with the Poe Center for over three years and enjoys empowering youth to live healthfully. If Maggie is not at Poe, you will most likely find her studying to receive a Master's in Nutrition from East Carolina University and volunteering in the community.  You can get the full show notes here: http://afitandablelife.com/?p=1440  Download your FREE ebook 101 Healthy Living Tips: https://fitandable.leadpages.co/fit-able-life-101-tips/  Join our FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/FitandAble Follow us on Twitter: https://twitter.com/FitandAbleInc  Learn about our Events and Teams: http://fitandable.net Follow our Podcast: http://afitandablelife.com
