Today’s conversation with Dr. Meagan Grega was amazing! Not only is she an engaging speaker, but a true trailblazer when it comes to Lifestyle Medicine. Her passion to preserve and improve the health of children and families is what drove her to co-found The Kellyn Foundation in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania, where she also serves as Chief Medical Officer.
Kellyn brings a “healthy” to life in the entire community through the healthy neighborhood immersion strategy, with 4 main initiatives.
1 - Kellyn Schools (serving > 10,000 elementary school children - WOWZA!)
2 - Kellyn Kitchens (medically based cooking programs - YUM!)
3 - Kellyn Food Access (via their “Eat Real Food” mobile market - ROCK ON!)
