Take Action:

Healthy Restaurant Initiative

The Healthy Restaurant Initiative started as a collaboration between Ramiro Rubio, owner of Galerias, Sea Mar CHC, and Seattle & King County REACH. Ramiro initiated this project with the goals of creating healthier menu options at his restaurant, raising awareness about diabetes in the Latino community, and eventually spreading this model to other Mexican restaurant owners in King County. The model would create opportunities for owners to make changes in their restaurant with the support of a nutritionist, health educator, and technical support staff.
