“I am so grateful for this convening because it really strengthened relationships and helped us find a way to potentially collaborate in the future,” says convening participant, Dr. Maegan Grega.
“This event has been rejuvenating for my spirit and my focus. Food really drives the health and well-being of all of us – not just physical health, but our emotional, social, and community health,” says another convening participant, Dr. Wendelin Slusser.
This event is part of a convening series built on Food and Society’s Food is Medicine Research Action Plan. The goals of the convening series are to elevate the Food is Medicine research and practice happening across the country, facilitate the entrance of new organizations and communities into the Food is Medicine movement, and develop a Food is Medicine Best Practices Guide.
