presented by The Institute for Family Health and Heal Well Kingston

Join Drs. Marta Sanchez, Danielle Astarita, Navneet Grewal and Fabiola Corbette from the Institute for Family Health for a leisurely walk and talk about Food as Medicine. The walk will begin at the O+ year-round clinic and gallery and walk past the Institute for Family Health’s soon to be open Pine Street Family Health Center. This new center will offer primary care, mental health and supportive services to people of all ages, regardless of ability to pay. The walk will continue past several of the O+ Festival murals in the Uptown area and then return to our starting location where walk participants will be gifted with some fresh produce courtesy of the Farm Hub. This walk is anticipated to go for approximately 1 mile/30 minutes in total and will move at a leisurely/all levels pace. Meet your local health care providers and enjoy some FO+RWARD motion with others from the community. Co-sponsored by Heal Well Kingston.
