 U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, was in Galena Park Monday, January 14, to visit with students at MacArthur Elementary School to discuss the importance of weight management and diabetes prevention through proper nutrition, exercise, and healthy lifestyles. Students at this predominately Hispanic school will be kicking off the Choosing Health And Sensible Exercise (CHASE) eight-week program that is supported by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and administered by the Harris County Hospital District and Baylor College of Medicine Department of Community Medicine. The program combines physical activity with health education to steer children toward a healthier lifestyle to prevent diabetes.
