The Family & Community Health Sciences (FCHS) department of Rutgers Coooperative Extension has a long history of providing community outreach throughout New Jersey to promote health and wellness. Research shows that the risk for diseases such as cancer, obesity, heart disease, diabetes and hypertension could be decreased through healthful eating and regular physical activity. By providing science-based educational programs for all age groups on a variety of nutrition and health related topics, we combine research and practical advice to strive to improve your health for a better tomorrow.

We offer a variety of educational programs that are designed to inform residents of current health related news, guidelines and recommendations to promote healthier families, individuals and communities. Some programs are offered free-of-charge, others for a nominal donation. Take a look at some of our most popular programs and contact us today to schedule one for your group, association or workplace. Or, call us to discuss your specific needs and we'll customize a program for you!
