Charleston, W.Va. – Today, Governor Patrick Morrisey, alongside First Lady Denise Morrisey and Dr. Angie Settle, CEO of WV Health Right, officially unveiled WV Health Right’s new Mobile Teaching Kitchen. The ribbon-cutting ceremony and live cooking demonstration are part of Governor Morrisey’s initiatives to Make West Virginia Healthy and promote healthy eating.
“West Virginia Health Right’s new Mobile Teaching Kitchen represents the kind of innovative, community-centered approach that can help tackle chronic illness and promote lasting wellness across the state,” said Governor Patrick Morrisey. “By increasing access to practical nutrition education and preventive care, this initiative is taking meaningful steps to support our mission to make West Virginia healthy again.”
“The Mobile Teaching Kitchen is a great example of how innovation, love of community and creativity can come together to improve lives,” said First Lady Denise Morrisey. “By showing families how to prepare healthy meals and understand nutrition and the vital role that food choices play in overall health, WV Health Right is giving people across our state the tools they need to build stronger, healthier futures.”
“This mobile unit is a classroom, a clinic, and a lifeline, giving every West Virginian the tools to make informed, healthier choices, no matter where they live,” said Dr. Angie Settle, CEO of WV Health Right. “By making health education accessible and engaging, we’re bringing a ‘food as medicine’ approach directly into neighborhoods, community events, and non-traditional healthcare settings in West Virginia.”
The Mobile Teaching Kitchen is a fully-equipped unit designed to bring healthy cooking education directly to communities across West Virginia. The program aims to demonstrate nutritious recipes, promote preventive health screenings, and connect residents with WV Health Right’s comprehensive healthcare services
