Kaiser Permanente Honors Cooperative Extension

Kendra Byrd accepts award from Kaiser Permanente

Kaiser Permanente has awarded a Community Agency Star Award to UC Cooperative Extension, Contra Costa, in recognition of 25 years of sustaining K-12 health education in schools in Kaiser's Diablo and East Bay services areas. In bestowing the award, Kaiser noted that UCCE also extends the reach of their Educational Theater Program to the adult populations of school communities.

Educational Theatre Programs brings, free, live theatrical programs to schools and communities to inspire children, teens, and adults to make informed decisions about their health and to build stronger, healthier neighborhoods. UCCE's Community Nutrition Educators partner with Kaiser to extend the reach of the Educational Theater Program by providing follow-up lessons and discussions with children and teens.

"Both organizations working together to improve the health of the community multiply the impact of what either organization could do on its own," said Kendra Byrd, Community Nutrition Educator. "Partnering with Kaiser Permanente has not only extended our program's reach, it has made our program more impactful."
