The Bree Collaborative will host the webinar “Addressing Food Insecurity in Washington State (CME/CPE)” from 12-1:45 p.m. Tuesday, June 25. Register up to attend.
While Washington is well known in part for its agricultural industry, many communities across the state need help accessing nutritious food. This session will begin with an overview of the current state of food insecurity in Washington. Attendees will then hear from the Washington State Department of Agriculture, DSHS, DOH and a community group to discuss strategies to combat food insecurity and how we can foster collective change to achieve equitable access to nutritious food. After the panelist presentation, there will be time for Q&A followed by time to connect with peers and discuss the next steps across the health care ecosystem.
This event has been approved for individuals to receive CME or CPE credits.
