Meet Your CHIP Facilitator Heidi Fischer!
Greetings! My name is Heidi Fischer and I am the facilitator for the upcoming Complete Health Improvement Program (CHIP) that is being offered on the Athens campus of Ohio University this fall. I am a registered dietitian and have facilitated the CHIP program on the Ohio University Athens campus for a few years and am excited to be your facilitator for the fall corporate class! I too am a CHIP graduate and have personally experienced how this program enhances the quality of life and improves health. I am a working mother with a family that includes three small children, so I know the challenges of maintaining a healthy lifestyle with a busy schedule. Thankfully, CHIP gave me the information and tools that I needed to raise a happy, balanced, healthy family!
