Kids in the Kitchen program is a success at Alton Memorial

ALTON - Chef Willie Fox of Morrison Food and Nutrition at Alton Memorial Hospital helps Max King of Brighton mix a “Scrumptious Banana Smoothie” in a blender during a “Kids in the Kitchen” event Oct. 24 in the AMH café meeting rooms.

Children got to make three pumpkin-related recipes during the event, which gives children hands-on experience with healthy treats. The event was led by Dr. Laura Hill, a pediatrician on staff at AMH, along with the Morrison staff.
