On January 25, we hosted a discussion with Dr. Kate Mulligan about food prescribing. Kate presented on social prescribing and opportunities related to food, and discussed ways to measure the impact of food prescribing.
This webinar was designed for the Anchor Cohort, where some teams are prototyping the idea of food prescriptions with their communities
