Building Healthy Communities Locally

What if the secret to a healthier life lies not in traditional medicine, but in the food we eat? Join us for a conversation with David Wadlick, the Chief Collaboration and Programs Officer for Feedmore, as he shares his incredible journey from a 20-year career in the US Navy to reshaping community health initiatives in Richmond. With an MBA from the University of Virginia and a diverse background in healthcare, David is spearheading an innovative approach that treats food as medicine, with the potential to transform health outcomes. Together, we explore how Richmond's unique blend of history and community spirit has influenced David's mission to combat the challenges faced by America's aging population. Discover how a groundbreaking $40 million investment in Feed More's new facility is revolutionizing community food security across Central Virginia.
