Webinar Recordings
Signals of Change (2022)
Since 2016, Nourish has been nurturing leadership to recognize the power of food in health care to heal. Across the country, dozens of initiatives are changing the culture and practice of food services. Here are some of those success stories.
Launch Webinar for the Values-Based Procurement Primer (2023)
Launch webinar for Nourish's latest resource, a primer to guide health care institutions in improving sustainability with their food spend.
Food Prescription Discussion with Dr. Kate Mulligan (2023)
Learn about food prescribing within the context of social prescribing, and listen in on a discussion about live projects from current Anchor Cohort teams working on food prescribing.
Transitioning to New Health Care Futures Webinar (2022)
How can we support food and health systems to break free from unhelpful patterns and find new ones that can be sustained long-term? Nourish partnered with Professor Terry Irwin and Dr. Gideon Kossoff from the Transition Design Institute at Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh, who took us to the cutting edge of systems change theory and practice, sharing their insights on what it takes to shift systems toward better outcomes. We also hear from current Cohort participants from St. Joseph's Health Care in London, ON.
Anchor Cohort Launch Webinar (2020)
Hear from Nourish advisers and past Cohort participants about how Nourish has supported their ambitions and goals. We also share some examples of what Cohort work could look like using our first version of the Food for Health Levers. Please disregard the portion about how to apply to the Cohort as these steps are not accurate for the 2023 process.
