Please join us in our program series Navigating Diabetes Through Food and Community, a two-week program with online and in-person sessions at the Roxbury Branch of the Boston Public Library. We invite you join to one or many sessions where we will be learning / hearing from professionals who value scientific research and the important role community plays. Whether you have been diagnosed with diabetes, prediabetes, or live with someone with these diagnoses, you are welcome. Registration required for each session.
This session will be facilitated by Dr. Lucy Lomas where she will lead a community building session about the value of community and the power of knowledge when living with diabetes.
To attend this session, please register on the Event website.
