We're honored to share that Brianna Wallenhorst will be a panelist at the 6th Annual Food as Medicine Symposium, hosted by the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus, Inc. on October 15 and 16, 2026 in Buffalo, NY.

For six years, this symposium has brought together clinicians, researchers, dietitians, and community leaders who are working to close the gap between healthcare and what ends up on people's plates. It's one of the few rooms where the science, the systems, and the people actually doing the work are all in the same place.

If food as medicine is part of your work, or you'd like it to be, this is the room. We invite you to join us in person or tune in virtually.
