Person

Janice Hartman

TSU-Extension Agent I | Hamilton County

Specialization: Nutrition Education - primarily Food Safety and Food Resource Management

Overview

I have 2 areas of particular interest in my role as a community nutrition educator. 1. Food Safety - Having worked as a Sanitarian/Health Inspector for almost 30 years, I am particular interested in conveying information to help people prevent foodborne illness, especially in high-risk audiences such as older adults, children, persons with chronic illness. 2. Food Resource Management - I am committed to helping people with limited resources stretch their food $ - particular older adults, many of whom may qualify for assistance such as SNAP but who do not receive the assistance they need.

Outreach Focus

Providing education to people with limited financial resources in the areas of nutrition, food safety, food resource management and regular physical activity. Also, networking with many community partner agencies to reach target audiences.
