“We are so excited to be working with a wonderful community partner like Kroger,” says Kimberlydawn Wisdom, MD, senior vice president of Community Health & Equity and Chief Wellness and Diversity Officer at Henry Ford Health System. “We view wellness as a lifelong journey – a daily commitment to making the right choices when it comes to things like healthy eating. Having a presence inside every Kroger in the state of Michigan is a great way to reach the people in the communities we serve.”
LiveWell experts will also answer questions about food labeling and explain healthy substitutions. They will also provide counsel on what to consider when cooking for people with food allergies, current food trends, and what to always keep in the freezer, refrigerator and pantry.
