Our Programs
Nourish programs support leaders, within and beyond the walls of health care, to leverage the power of food, so that health and food systems become more preventative, equitable, and sustainable.
Nourish Commons
The Commons is Nourish’s online portal and platform for action – the doorway into all things Nourish. This members-only space makes it simple to find the networks, resources, and expertise you need to leverage the power of food for health and well-being.
Join the Nourish Commons, opening in March 2026, and gain a launchpad to transform your organization’s food for health outcomes.
Nourish Symposium
Nourish convenes food and health care leaders for timely conversations around food for health. Our Symposium brings together inspirational speakers and thought leaders for experiential workshops and immersive learning journeys.
National Cohorts
Nourish’s cohorts foster innovation where food and health systems intersect. Through peer learning, mentorship, and experimentation, the cohorts find pathways to drive systemic leadership in food and health systems.
Nourish Awards
Recognizing and celebrating leadership, honouring longstanding changemakers and emergent voices in food-health transformation.
Food is Our Medicine
Nourish’s Food is Our Medicine learning journey grows understanding around the importance between Indigenous foodways, Truth and Reconciliation, and health equity.
Planetary Health
Crafting a sustainable health care menu is a delicious way to support human and planetary health. Signing onto the Coolfood Pledge and switching to more plant forward, local, sustainable and low-waste menus is something all health care organizations can do.
“Thankfully, there’s a hospital food revolution underway… a push to make what is served on the hospital tray more palatable, patient-friendly, and planet-friendly.”
