ProMedica, The Alliance to End Hunger and Presbyterian Healthcare Services are hosting a regional summit on hunger and health and invite you to join the conversation.

Please Come to the Table on

Monday, June 2, at Los Poblanos Historic Inn and Organic Farm in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

The summit is free of charge and will run from 8:30 a.m. – 3:30 p.m.

This session will feature perspectives from an array of experts including a keynote address by Audrey Rowe, Administrator for the Food and Nutrition Service at the U.S. Department of Agriculture.

There are clear associations between food insecurity and poorer health status among children, adults and seniors, and our goal is to ensure that this topic becomes a priority in the healthcare industry. The long-term, detrimental effects of poor nutrition on health include negative consequences on physical and mental development, as well as the productivity and economic success of our nation. While the human toll from hunger remains incalculable, one estimate puts related healthcare costs nationwide at a staggering $130.5 billion a year.

Through our combined efforts we will continue to frame this issue in a unique perspective so that, collectively, we can develop and deploy sustainable solutions to end hunger and ensure it remains a national priority.
