Webinar: Food as Medicine – The Power Of Your Fork

May 15, 2018 @ 3:00 pm - 4:00 pm EDT

Free

The food-as-medicine movement has been around for decades, but it's making inroads as physicians and medical institutions make food a formal part of treatment, rather than relying solely on medications. By prescribing nutritional changes or launching educational programs they're trying to prevent, limit or even reverse disease by changing what patients eat. Join us as three healthcare experts share their expertise and stories about the power in serving nutritious, appealing food in hospitals. At this important juncture, there are opportunities to set goals, build on successes, and learn from their experience.

Food is medicine – it is part of health care– and leaders will be called upon to help build a healthy food and nutrition culture within their institutions and across systems. Educating and eating go hand in hand!

Objectives:

  1. An overarching view and perspective of Food as Medicine movement in different facilities
  2. Understand the terminology of this movement-health and wellness, food pharmacies
  3. Creation of an action plan of who should lead, adapt this initiative and execute this initiative

This program is for foodservice directors, culinarians, dietitians and retail healthcare managers.
