McMillen Health is Featured on Fox 55 for Reclaim Your Plate Campaign

McMillen Health’s “Reclaim Your Plate” campaign was featured on Fox 55.

McMillen Health’s newly launched campaign aims to help children “Reclaim Your Plate.”

The initiative focuses on fundraising for nutrition education programs for 2,500 students ranging from kindergarten to high school seniors.
