MIPLAN (Maternal Infant Physical Leisure Activity Nutrition) is a VRHA project funded by the CDC. In collaboration with the Dan River Health Collaborative, the City of Danville, God’s Storehouse food pantry, the Black Church Food Security Network, the Danville Family YMCA, and the Birth in Color RVA Foundation, MI PLAN will engage in activities to improve health, prevent chronic disease, and reduce health disparities among Black and Hispanic individuals in the region. The activities will include a combination of increasing access to affordable healthy food, increasing access to physical activity, and providing education and support for pregnant women to encourage breastfeeding on the individual and community level.
