Sometimes it can be hard to figure out how to be a medical practitioner and contribute to society beyond the one-on-one interactions that you actually have with your patients.
I'm super proud of my sister, Emily (and pictured to the right), who has been part of team that just opened up a community garden through their medical school in the middle of the Bronx. While it might not produce enough food to support a community of patients, it is an area of green space, quiet, and perhaps, most important, a focal point for healthful eating and getting back in touch with real food.
BODY stands for Bronx Obesity, Diabetes, and You. Check out the rest of the short blurb on them here!
