Welcome to the American Heart Association in New York City’s second webinar in the Harvest of Health series. We are thrilled to serve-up the second helping of this three-course meal. In honor of November being Eat Smart Month, we decided that this conversation should focus on the topics of nutrition and food access in NYC. As an appetizer, we want to share some important resources and materials to help you dive deeper into the topics and, hopefully, serve to empower you to take control of your health!
As we learned from the first webinar back in October, once the conversation starts flowing, time constraints may force us to accidentally skip over some of the important topics or not cover them as extensively as we would prefer. We hope you will use this page as a resource library and conversations starter.
