Leading DEI in Food-is-Medicine
Food As Medicine
America is on the cusp of a healthcare revolution. Food-is-Medicine is finding its way into mainstream healthcare and integrated into standard patient care. The new model of reimbursement has the ability to change our Sick-Care into Health-Care by treating chronic diseases, many of them are diet-related, at their very roots.
But do we have the blueprint for the success of the Food-is-Medicine services? How do we ensure Food-is-Medicine is not another White Supremacy tool to discriminate or shame but an apparatus to heal and protect ethnic minorities who need food intervention the most?
Join Dr Yen Ang, the vice president of Health Equity at Tangelo, one of the biggest Food-is-Medicine organizations in California for an honest and forward-looking discussion on the Food-is-Medicine movement, and how Diversity-Equity-Inclusion is central to its success.
