Clinic Outreach Season is Here

Last month, six ND residents and one brave nutrition student staffed a BCNH booth for two long and busy days at VegFest. Our attendance at this type of outreach event gives the public an opportunity to meet Bastyr Center (and Bastyr University) face-to-face. We tend to choose events that revolve around health, sustainability and strengthening community.
Once our outreach season begins, it quickly revs into high gear. This spring and summer, look for the Bastyr Center booth at a number of local events, including:

• Pacific Science Center's Seattle Science Festival 
• Bastyr's Herb and Food Fair 
• Fremont (Solstice) Fair 
• Seattle Pride Fest 
• Swedish SummeRun 
• Seattle Parks "Big Day of Play" 
• Seattle Tilth Harvest Fair 
• and Wallingford Farmers Markets 

This weekend, Bastyr Center will participate in the American Diabetes Association Seattle EXPO at the Convention Center. This is our first year as a major participant and we're excited to jump in and share our unique perspective on diabetes prevention and care. We'll be offering:

• A1c (blood glucose) screenings, administered by ND residents and students 
• A cooking demo on the Healthy Eating Stage by Chef Jim Watkins 
• A talk on the event main stage by Dr. Ryan Bradley 
• A colorful and engaging display, including whole foods and loads of helpful information 

The event runs from 9am-3pm on Saturday, April 21. Come by and see us! Find more information here.
