Hosted by William Newton Healthcare Foundation in conjunction with the Beats Go On community wellness initiative, Benjamin Anderson, vice president for rural health and hospitals at the Colorado Hospital Association, will present “Cultivating the Soil for Rural Communities to Thrive,” focusing on viewing issues affecting rural health through an environmental lens.
Attendees will learn how the USDA's four principles of soil health were leveraged to improve the health and well-being of a rural Kansas community and the people serving its local hospital. With rural communities in mind, what if we liken our neighbors - including healthcare workers - to seedlings that require a healthy environment at work and home to grow and thrive?
While this event is geared towards community leaders and healthcare providers, all are welcome. Lunch is provided by Union State Bank. In addition, the Docking family will host a meet and greet with Anderson at 5:00 p.m. later that evening.
Seating for the luncheon is limited to 60 attendees. To reserve your seat, call the William Newton Healthcare Foundation at 620-222-6276 or email foundationdir@wnmh.org by August 28.
