Had a great time attending and presenting at MDHHS's SDOH Summit this week! Loved the opportunity to learn more about work that is happening around the state to improve health equity, housing stability, and food security.

Excited to share what we learned from organizations serving those aging with physical disabilities about how the pandemic has impacted the work that they do!

Our very own @Marurka was on @wjrradio last week! Marissa joined Phil Knight @fbcmich & Gerry Brisson @Gleaners on Food First Michigan and discussed CHRT research about how Michigan physicians screen patients for food insecurity. Listen to EP 91 here: https://t.co/3oQjKkIIYc

Loved getting to chat with @DrPhil14 and @GCFBGERRY on #FoodFirstMI about findings from CHRT’s most recent survey of Michigan physicians, and what the implications are for those working to address food insecurity and promote the health of Michiganders. Check it out!
