Cook County Health and Hospital System in partnership with Maywood PLCCA is conducting a suburban food literacy study. The purpose of this study is to determine the rates of food literacy in communities with limited food access in Maywood. Students will gather data and help to develop a food literacy intervention for the access, planning, selection, and preparation of local foods. The volunteers will work with Dr. Terry Mason Chief Medical Officer, Cook County Health and Hospitals Systems.
