Webinar: Reframing Healthy Food in Health Care

Year: 2018
Presenters: Diane Imrie, Director of Nutrition, University of Vermont; Joshna Maharaj, Chef, Activist; Dr Janice Sorensen, Professor, Langara College

The question of what qualifies as “healthy” food is highly contested in health care and beyond. This conversation is alive and well in our leadership cohort, and we want to engage it publicly. At the Reframing Healthy Food in Heath Care webinar we brought together diverse perspectives from three thought-leaders to explore how hospitals and health care facilities can lead the charge in expanding the definition of healthy food, to better serve people, patients, and the planet.

Webinar: Systems mapping

Source: Nourish
Year: 2017
Presenters: Melanie Goodchild, Turtle Island Institute; Jen Reynolds, Food Secure Canada; Hayley Lapalme, Nourish; Beth Hunter, McConnell Foundation

This discussion-based webinar will explore the potential of systems mapping as a tool to understand systems and to design better interventions. We will introduce the basics of beginning to draw your own systems maps. The Nourish team will share the maps drawn to interpret the (dis)connection between food and health/care, and will explore the insights and opportunities that emerged from those maps. Participants will be invited to respond to the maps and discuss patterns they observe in their work.

For some background, Donella Meadows' Thinking in Systems: A Primer is a wonderful resource - and we just discovered, is available online! If you want to cut to the chase, Chapter 6: Leverage Points (p.145) packs a good punch and is one of the most practical chapters.

Learning Objectives

• Discuss the potential of systems mapping as a tool to understand systems and to design better interventions.

• Introduce some basic concepts of systems thinking and systems mapping. (Note: Done well, systems mapping is hard! This will be an introduction.)

• Apply the concepts of mapping to an existing map produced by the Nourish team.

• Encourage participants to engage with the maps by sharing insights, surfacing assumptions, and contributing new interpretations.

Webinar: Innovator Collaborative Projects Public Kickoff

Source: Nourish
Year: 2017
Are you interested by the role that better food can play in delivering better health care? The Nourish leadership program has kicked off 5 collaborative projects and is looking for your engagement.

Each team approaches a different dimension of the disconnect between food in health care, for example: better understanding the patient experience of food in health, and addressing barriers to sustainable, local, and traditional food that supports health and healing. Specifically, their work relates to:

• Increasing the sector's ability to deliver Traditional & Country Food Programs for Indigenous patients and residents

• Developing a Sustainable Menu Guide to help the sector decrease its ecological impact and support social and economic wellbeing

• Creating a more enabling policy environment for a Food is Health approach in health care

• Developing National RFP Models for values-based healthcare food purchasing

• Researching strategies for benchmarking National Patient Satisfaction/Experience with Food Services

We invite you to join the Nourish cohort to learn about the suite of national, collaborative projects they have been developing to transform how we think about food in care. During the webinar, each project team defines the problem they are tackling and how they plan to approach it. Participants are invited to respond to a call to action to engage with the projects.
