An Invitation to Companies, Associations, Foundations and Federal and State Government Agencies

Our upcoming "Healthy Kitchens, Healthy Lives: Caring for our Patients and Ourselves" semi-annual conference is being developed and co-presented by The Culinary Institute of America (CIA) and the Osher Institute at Harvard Medical School (HMS). This national leadership program, which will run twice in 2008, will reach (for each program) an audience of 270-300 physicians, dieticians, nurses and other senior-level healthcare professionals; hospital, insurance, and other healthcare executives; healthcare foodservice directors and executive chefs; as well as consumer, professional and trade media. Among this audience will be a significant number of leaders in their respective professional areas—"influencers" that CIA and Harvard organizers will invite to carry the program's outcomes and messages to their peers and organizations.

We invite supporting organizations to participate both with an educational grant, as well as in the conference exhibitions. Please join us in helping to fund this vital, ground-breaking educational initiative for the medical, healthcare and foodservice communities. Parties interested in grant and exhibitor opportunities should contact Greg Drescher or Holly Briwa at The Culinary Institute of America or Robert Scholten at Harvard Medical School Osher Institute for more information.
