Bon Appétit at HealthAchieve

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be thy food.

-Hippocrates

There’s a reason food, healthcare, wellness and our environment are so closely linked. This year’s HealthAchieve, the top healthcare convention in Ontario, digs into this tasty subject with a special session:

Bon Appétit – Sustainable Food in the Health Care Environment

Monday, November 6th, 2017
1:30 PM to 3:00 PM
Room 717AB, MTCC, South Building

I have the honour of facilitating this session and am extremely keen to hear from our panelists. This interactive session looks at food from four perspectives (or four courses):

• Climate Change Resiliency
  • Stewart Dankner and Ed Rubinstein (yes, that Ed) of University Health Network
• Does Your Food Have a Drug Problem?: Antibiotics Stewardship
  • Jennifer Reynolds of Food Secure Canada
• Project SOIL: Gardens as Health Care at Ontario Institutions
  • Irena Knezevic of Carleton University
• You Are What You Eat: Food as Medicine, Culture, and Health
  • Hayley Lapalme of Nourish

So yes, expect lots and lots of food for thought. Stay tuned for next week’s story where we share what we learned. Better yet, see you at HealthAchieve!
