After an exciting series of First Friday speakers through the winter addressing the issue of food access as a health and environmental justice issue, JALSA leaders and staff have had a busy spring meeting with key leaders on this topic.  Gus Schumacher, former Undersecretary of Agriculture, has been working with us to explore the role that Doctors and Health-Insurers can play in promoting greater access to healthy resources and lifestyles for poorer communities struggling with lack of access to fresh food and places to exercise.
–Access to fresh healthy food is an important issue of equity.  Join us in our efforts in this preventative health measure to help increase such healthy food availability.    Call Annie Fox at JALSA: 617-227-3000 or email annie@jalsa.org
