DESCRIPTION:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEat to Treat: Utili
 zing Our Food Networks to Support and Improve Health in Rural Arizona\n“
 Eat to Treat” is a University of Arizona Center for Rural Health webinar
  scheduled for January 21\, 2027\, from noon–1 p.m. It focuses on culina
 ry medicine\, nutrition education\, and the community partnerships that ca
 n strengthen health and workforce development in rural Arizona.\nWhat the 
 webinar covers\nThe session connects food\, health\, education\, and rural
  workforce development rather than treating nutrition solely as individual
  behavior. Its three stated learning objectives are to explain training fu
 ture practitioners in community-based culinary medicine\, discuss building
  community/clinical/academic stakeholder networks\, and show how student e
 xperiential learning and nutrition projects can have greater impact.\nPres

 mphasizing nutrition and health-career opportunities in rural and border c
 ommunities. Ashlee Linares-Gaffer\, EdD\, RDN\, FAND\, is an Associate Pro
 fessor of Practice in the University of Arizona School of Nutritional Scie
 nces and Wellness whose teaching includes career preparation\, leadership\
 , and agricultural and food literacy for future health professionals.\nWhy
  the rural focus matters\nA distinctive feature is its emphasis on network
 s: colleges and universities\, health-care settings\, schools\, Tribal Nat
 ions\, and other community partners can collectively support nutrition edu
 cation and rural health. The webinar also treats students' hands-on commun
 ity work as a way to simultaneously develop the future health workforce an
 d deliver community-responsive nutrition initiatives.\nPart of a broader s
 eries\nThe event belongs to the Arizona Center for Rural Health Webinar Se
 ries\, which provides technical assistance and shares research\, policy up
 dates\, best practices\, and other rural-health information with stakehold
 ers across Arizona. That context makes “Eat to Treat” particularly rel
 evant to public-health practitioners\, dietitians and nutrition educators\
 , educators training future health professionals\, and organizations devel
 oping community-based food and health partnerships.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\
