Beacon and Martin’s Team Up to Improve Nutrition

Beacon Health System and Martin’s Super Markets have teamed up to develop an exciting new program called Eat Smart. Be Well. This program is a direct response to consumers’ growing interest in adopting healthier lifestyle behaviors to achieve a better quality of life.

Maria Haisley, RDN, CD, ACECPT, who most recently served as an outpatient registered dietitian and nutritionist at Elkhart General Hospital, will serve as the program’s Health & Wellness Advisor.

She will help community members incorporate exercise, diet and nutritional components into their daily lives, with the goal being better long-term health.  These resources will be made available to Martin’s shoppers both in store and online. In addition to conventional and online educational materials, Haisley will also direct outreach projects, including group and individual counseling and classes.

“I’ll maintain office hours, but my goal is to be out in Martin’s stores, connecting with customers and sharing information on diet, nutrition and community resources available through my Beacon Health System connection,” says Haisley. “One of the most important roles I’ll serve is to find ways to share the science of food and nutrition with customers in easy-to-understand, easy-to-adopt ways.”
