    Episode 50 Beyond the Clinic Walls: Partnering for Nutrition
    Apr 29 2026

We’re joined by partners from Santa Rosa Community Health and the Center for Well‑Being, who are working together to embed nutrition services into clinical care in practical, sustainable ways that work for both patients and care teams. The conversation highlights what their model looks like in practice, how it fits into existing workflows, the outcomes they are seeing, and practical takeaways that other health centers can apply and test in their own settings.
