Dine, Learn & Move

COVID-19 UPDATE:

The health and safety of our residents are our highest priorities. With ongoing concerns about the Coronavirus (COVID-19) and recommendations from state health authorities to limit gatherings of people, we have made the decision to transition from in person programming to offering sessions online.

Dine, Learn & Move 

Is a FREE 11-month program currently being presented online by a partnership between M-NCPPC Department of Parks and Recreation Prince George’s County, Prince George’s County Health Department, Suburban Hospital and the University of Maryland, Capital Region Health. The program aims to promote healthy eating, active living and reinforce health behaviors in order to reduce the prevalence of various chronic diseases amongst county residents.  Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death in Prince George’s County and half of adults are not active or are insufficiently active.
