We were proud to have our very own Dr. Lorna Fitzpatrick join the panel discussion on The Business Case for Food as Medicine today at the Food as Medicine Symposium at Jacobs School of Medicine and Biomedical Sciences at the University at Buffalo. Dr. Fitzpatrick shared how we’re helping turn the idea of 'food as medicine' into real, measurable health improvements, from fewer ER visits to better energy and well-being. It’s all about showing how good nutrition can lead to better health and lower costs—for individuals, communities, and employers. It was a pleasure to be part of the conversation! #FoodAsMedicine #UniveraHealthcare #HealthInnovation #DrFitzpatrick #WellnessMatters
