As a dietetics student at UIC, Peggy Balboa‘s philosophy toward her volunteer efforts is health and disease prevention through sound nutrition. She helped develop a pictorial “Food Access Guide” for Heartland Alliance Health Outreach – assisting newly arriving refugees in danger of poverty and food insecurity. She also developed a program to provide nutritional information training for men and women living with HIV/AIDS at Bonaventure House. In addition to these programs, Peggy volunteered as a SHIP counselor for the Illinois Department of Financial and Professional Regulation, working directly with senior citizens to help them interpret and choose the appropriate Medicare coverage for both their medical needs and prescription drug plans.
