“Our goal is to empower families with skills to cook, shop, and eat in ways that support their child’s health while creating joy and connection around the table,” --- Dr. Pele Yu, Director of the Arkansas Children’s Integrative Health Clinic.
*One Recipe Kit Per Household*
Arkansas Children’s Integrative Health Clinic is proud to launch a new initiative, the Eat Better – Food is Medicine Program, designed to bring the power of healthy cooking and nutrition directly to families. Through hands-on monthly Cook-Alongs and quarterly Food is Medicine Workshops, families will learn cooking skills, enjoy tastings, take home ingredient bags, and access community resources such as SNAP enrollment and food budgeting support. The program is led by Dr. Pele Yu and Chef Alicia Watson of Vito & Vera, in partnership with the Central Arkansas Library System’s Be Mighty Program, the Arkansas Hunger Relief Alliance, and the Arkansas Children’s Community Outreach Program.

The Hillary Rodham Clinton Children’s Library & Learning Center includes a computer lab with fourteen computers, teaching kitchen, large activity area, individual and group study rooms, theater, and community room in addition to a collection of more than 21,000 books, DVDs, and CDs.
In the 165-seat theater, children can experience all aspects of theater, including designing and building sets, writing plays, acting, and costume design. The state-of-the-art sound system, lighting, and projection screens is also be used for movies, concerts, and lectures.
The Children’s Library’s grounds are integral to the entire facility’s program. A greenhouse and teaching garden helps children learn about growing healthy foods as well as provide produce that are used in the teaching kitchen programs. The grounds reflect the topography of Arkansas’s ecosystems, from the native hardwood trees in the highlands to vegetation of the wetland areas, which are both planted and original to the site. Walking paths offer families an attractive place for exercise while learning the names of the trees and plants, and an amphitheater has seating for outdoor programs or nature watching.
