Fireside Chat: Understanding Community Health Beyond the Hospital
Did you know 80% of your health has nothing to do with a doctor's office?
What actually makes our community healthy? In our first Fireside Chat, Phil Beekman sits down with Kim Blanda, RN and Director of Community Relations at Hunterdon Health, to unpack the surprising factors shaping healthcare today.
From tackling mental health and social isolation to local food programs like Healthy Harvest Rx and the School Backpack Program, learn how Hunterdon Health extends care beyond the clinic walls—and stick around to the end to see Phil and Kim make a fresh veggie pizza!
