At Camarena Health, we’re committed to finding innovative solutions that meet the needs of our community. One such initiative, our Grocery Store Tours, was developed from the direct feedback of patients struggling to make healthy food choices for their families. Led by health educator Cindy Hernandez, these tours provide participants with a unique opportunity to learn about nutrition right where it matters most—at the grocery store.
Sparked by conversations with patients, Cindy crafted a program that makes nutrition education interactive and practical. Participants are guided through local grocery stores by nutrition experts who help them understand how to select healthy options and dispel common food myths. With each tour, patients receive valuable insights into label reading, portion control, and how to balance their meals while also receiving a gift card to help them apply what they’ve learned.
