Food As Medicine Conference
Dear HL Member,
Â
We are seeking raise $25 Million to educate 1,500 students on Historically Black Colleges and Universitys in the practice of prescribing plant food as medicine through the Plant-based Lifestyle Medicine program. We seek to create a Plant-based Nutrition and Business Innovation program on 50 HBCU Campuses and provide $10 scholarships to 30 students on each of the 50 campuses to education a total of 1,500 students.Â
This cohart of students will be the new leaders of Plant-Based Lifestyle Medicine practice as future physicians, dieticians or public health workers.
We are asking the AM Law 200 Laws firms to each give $125,000 to this fund that will distribute the scholarships and pay the professors and role out the course curriculum on each campus.
Communities of color, particularly African-American communities in and around HBCU campus suffer disproportionately from two and three chronic disease which was also the reasons that African-Americans disproporationately diease of Covid-19 during the Pandemic.
While at the same time these communities lack adequate access to healthcare and healthy whole plant-based foods. Many in the communitya nd HBCU's are located in "Food Deserts". Therefore, we are launching the Centers for Plant-Based Lifestyle Medicine & Business Innovation on HBCU campuses that have existing allied health and medical training programs to develop a pipeline of medical professionals and physicians training in the basics of prescribing plant food as medicine as primary care for the treatment and reversal of chronic disease.
Join our fundraise to tackle chronic disease in these communities. Health IS WEALTH and providing tools for the path to sustainable economic development starts with having a healthy community.
