Last night’s STRIVE 2 Survive meeting was excellent! Deidra VanGilder, PharmD was our speaker and she did a great job discussing medications, supplements, vitamins, and minerals and what’s best for our body and our health conditions. She is an excellent resource to Brown Clinic and STRIVE 2 Survive and if you ever have questions regarding your medication or supplements, feel free to contact her at the clinic!
We also had some great food (always a favorite part of the night for me!). County Fair Foods provided a very tasty Mango Salsa and provided us with some great omega-3 fatty acids with salmon cakes. Be sure to give these recipes a try!
