The article shown below was  published by Impact DuPage on September 21, 2016.  Healthy Lombard is honored to have its efforted recognized by this wonderful organization.

Municipalities across DuPage County are working to make an impact on strategic issues, such as Healthy Lifestyles. In Lombard, the Healthy Lombard coalition is working with restaurants to create and promote healthier menu options. In an effort to increase healthy eating and reduce obesity, restaurants are improving the local food environment by adopting Healthy Lombard criteria for healthier dining options. Developed by a Registered Dietitian Nutritionist participating in the coalition, these criteria include having food options that are low-calorie, have beneficial ingredients, and that are low in fat, cholesterol, and sodium.

Four restaurants located in Lombard, including restaurants such as Maxfield’s Restaurant and Main Street Cafe, have already agreed to participate and will be displaying the Healthy Lombard designation in the restaurant for customers to identify. By implementing strategies to increase and promote healthy eating options, Healthy Lombard will help our community reach intended outcomes and advance the well-being of DuPage County.

Check out our Healthy Eating Options Page to see the menus of two restaurants that are participating in this project, Maxfields on Roosevelt Road and the Main Street Cafe on Main and St. Charles Rd.
