Summer in Charlotte means sunshine and outdoor fun, but it also brings extreme heat, severe storms and the potential for flooding and power outages.

Can food be part of the healing process? A growing number of healthcare leaders believe the answer is yes.

Our resident Vegucator, Dawn Hilton-Williams (), explores the role nutrition plays in recovery, highlighting how some hospitals and medical schools are embracing whole food, plant-based approaches and expanding nutrition education for future physicians. As more healthcare systems rethink what's served on patients' plates, the conversation is shifting from simply treating illness to supporting long-term health and wellness.
