CONCORD ? Citing her inspirational leadership and advocacy to make New Hampshire a healthier place for children, the Harvard Pilgrim Health Care Foundation honored state Sen. Nancy Stiles for her work in combating childhood obesity.

Stiles, R-Hampton, received her award Nov. 8 at the foundation's annual meeting at the Museum of Science in Boston.

"I am excited and honored to be the first person from New Hampshire to be given this public-service award from Harvard Pilgrim," she said. "The foundation's 'Growing up Healthy' program is very well-respected across the country, and I so appreciate its emphasis on ending childhood obesity."

Stiles was re-elected to a second term as state senator from District 24. Before her legislative career, she was school nutrition director for the Hampton School District for 30 years before retiring in 2004. As a former school nutrition director and now as a legislator, Stiles said she cares deeply about children's health.

"I understand the important role public policy and health-care companies like Harvard Pilgrim play in helping parents make good decisions concerning what their children eat and how often they exercise," she said. "We know healthy choices early on will follow them all their lives."

Her legislative accomplishments include being the prime sponsor of the New Hampshire School Breakfast/School Wellness bill and the public policy and legislative chairwoman for the N.H. School Food Service Association, and first nationally elected public policy and legislative chairwoman for the School Nutrition Association. She was named Legislator of the Year in 2010 by the Governor's Council of Physical Fitness and serves on the N.H. Healthy Schools Coalition board of directors.
