Herkimer County HealthNet is committed to creating opportunities for those residing in Herkimer County to learn more about healthy eating habits.\u00a0 A new program at HCHN, Healthy Store Initiative, assists store owners in identifying and promoting healthy and fresh food selections.<\/p>\n

The goal of the Healthy Store Initiative is to make it easier for families to find and purchase healthy foods by providing stores with Shelf Talker signs, which call a customer\u2019s attention to particular products, as well as display posters that utilize a traffic light concept to identify healthy foods.<\/p>\n

The Salisbury Country Store, located in Salisbury Center, has recently partnered with HCHN in implementing the Healthy Store Options in their store. The initiative aims to help customers choose more fruits, vegetables and whole grains, dietary changes which have been proven to reduce the risk of heart disease, obesity, diabetes, stroke and other chronic diseases.<\/p>\n

\u201cCurrently the Healthy Store Initiative marketing campaign is in three stores in Herkimer County\u201d said Program Coordinator Elyse Enea \u201cWith more consumers expecting to find fresh and healthy items on the go, the convenience store industry is in the midst of a momentous shift, identifying the healthy options already present in store is the first step\u201d said Enea.<\/p>\n

Before a business can obtain a HCHN Healthy Store Options designation, staff from Herkimer County Healthnet and Herkimer Cornell Cooperative Extension meet with store owner(s) and conduct a brief store assessment to determine all of the healthy items already present in the store. Following the assessment, the store owner(s) commit to promoting products in their store classified as healthy, chosen from the assessment.<\/p>\n

HCHN and Cooperative Extension will then work with the store owner(s) to increase visibility through signage, display and location recommendations.<\/p>\n

Development and implementation of the Healthy Store Initiative is supported by Local IMPACT, the NYSDOH program on Initiatives for Multi-Sector Public Health Action.\u00a0 The Local IMPACT initiative supports the statewide goals of improving population health, transforming health care delivery and reducing health disparities. Herkimer County HealthNet partners with HealtheConnections to implement Local IMPACT within Herkimer County.<\/p>\n
