ProMedica President and CEO Randy Oostra and Toledo Mayor Mike Bell challenged leaders from all over the region to work together to end hunger in their communities.
Newswise — We learn from an early age that “you are what you eat” and consuming fruits and vegetables is important. What is often missing in discussions about good health and food consumption, however, is the tragic level of hunger in America. In the richest nation, millions suffer the pangs of hunger and their health suffers as a result.
A recent White Paper developed by ProMedica and the Partnership to Fight Chronic Disease examines the extent of hunger in America, the inextricable links of hunger to poor health and the need to consider hunger as a health issue to make needed changes.
