In October 2022, Rodale Institute’s inaugural Regenerative Healthcare Conference convened healthcare practitioners to learn about food as medicine, linking soil health and human health. The 2023 Regenerative Healthcare Conference: Farm-to-Healthcare Immersion, on November 16 and 17, 2023, at St. Luke’s Hospital Anderson Campus, is designed to provide step-by-step guidance on how to create a successful farm-to-institution model, with an emphasis on health-focused institutions.

Attendees will learn about the benefits of farm-to-institution models from a successful case study at St. Luke’s Anderson; how to navigate startup challenges and buy-in; and how to create health from the soil up. Leaders from across the healthcare industry will have the opportunity to engage with Rodale Institute’s organic consulting team alongside a network of innovators about how to bring nutrient-dense, organic food into their operations.

This in-person event is tailored to executives and senior leadership representing healthcare and hospital systems, senior living facilities, health insurance and food service providers, among other innovative institutional leaders.
