Join The ConnectWell Food as Medicine Program
Libraries invited to participate
We invite public libraries to join a free Food as Medicine Virtual Program focused on Blood Pressure Maintenance. In this 1.5-hour program, ConnectWell will introduce you to the format of ConnectWell’s Food as Medicine Program and deliver the program to you as a participant. Afterwards, you will receive facilitation and marketing materials enabling you to easily deliver the program at your library.
Food as medicine is the concept of using whole, nutrient-dense foods to prevent and manage health conditions. ConnectWell’s Health & Wellness Database and programming is science-based and focuses on 3 distinct areas all of which are essential to Food as Medicine: health conditions, lifestyle habits, and healthy recipes. Each ConnectWell Food as Medicine Program will incorporate all 3 elements of ConnectWell’s Health & Wellness Database to get participants engaged in the content and apply food as medicine principles.
Date and Time of Food as Medicine Program: Tuesday March 24, 2026: 11 am PT/12 pm MT/1 pm CT/2 pm ET
If you are unable to attend the 1.5-hour session live, you will be sent the program recording and follow-up materials enabling you to deliver it at your library. You can note that on the sign-up form. Click here to register.
You can also reach out directly to Andrea Bloom, Founder & CEO ConnectWell.
Background on Let’s Move in Libraries collaboration with ConnectWell
In 2025 with Let’s Move in Libraries, ConnectWell piloted its 5-Week Healthy Eating Challenge. The format of ConnectWell’s Healthy Eating Challenge demonstrated strong results from Library Facilitators and Library Patrons: ConnectWell at the Library Report.
- Library Facilitators found that the Challenge Program materials prepared them to deliver an informative, effective, and engaging 5-week program.
- Patrons reported that the Challenge Program increased their nutrition knowledge and supported them in adopting healthy eating habits and 93% reported strong interest in participating in another ConnectWell Challenge.
Building on these strong results, ConnectWell is developing a Food as Medicine Program that makes it easy for libraries to host 1.5-hour events. In total, there will be 12 distinct Food as Medicine Programs that are meant to be delivered as separate events throughout the year.
Join the Free Food as Medicine Pilot
We invite your library to pilot Healthy Eating for Blood Pressure Maintenance. After the program, you will be asked to fill out a brief survey, allowing ConnectWell to refine the program with your feedback.
