Community Town Hall
Building Better Nutrition Together
This townhall event is designed to bring together members of the Cobb Creek neighborhood with both university faculty and The Community Grocer to have an open dialog about both the challenges of improving health by eating a healthier diet as well as opportunities to improve access to affordable nutritious food. Results from the Community Health, Access to Nutrition and Grocery Experience (CHANGE) study, performed over the summer, will be described as an example by which collaboration between these groups on projects will help bring resources into the community.
Hosted by The Community Grocer, Penn NSAM, PMBB, The Perelman School of Medicine, & The Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, & Informatics.
