Building on the Boston Public Health Commission’s Community Health Needs Assessment, the discussion will examine how nutrition-related disparities impact public health, policy, and medical care. Through expert-led discussions, it will highlight strategies to improve equitable access to nutritious food and promote well-being in all communities.
