VANCOUVER, British Columbia, April 23, 2024 New York Health and Hospitals, in collaboration with Rouxbe, is excited to announce a groundbreaking course designed to revolutionize how doctors and patients engage with plant-based nutrition. This innovative project directly responds to the growing need for comprehensive dietary education and aims to empower healthcare providers to better support their patients with accessible, culturally relevant resources. By bridging the gap between medical advice and everyday dietary choices, this program strives to improve patient outcomes through plant-based living.
This course development project is built on two key components designed to meet the needs of both healthcare providers and their patients.
Firstly, the traditional Rouxbe platform will serve as a training hub for doctors, equipping them with in-depth knowledge of plant-based meals and alternatives. This component of the program provides healthcare professionals with the tools to better educate and guide their patients on incorporating plant-based nutrition into their lives. By understanding the benefits and practicalities of plant-based diets, doctors will be able to offer more personalized dietary advice that aligns with the latest nutritional science.
Secondly, to bridge the gap between medical guidance and patient action, we are launching a series of instructional videos and recipes accessible via QR codes. This user-friendly approach allows doctors to effortlessly share educational content with patients, giving them immediate access to plant-based living resources. The QR codes link to a dedicated, easy-to-navigate website that doesn’t require logins, ensuring that information is readily available and accessible whenever and wherever patients need it.
Additonally, we are thrilled to announce the launch of the Food Coach Academy, a pioneering collaboration with Dr. Deborah Kennedy that sets a new standard in health coaching education. This innovative academy is designed to equip healthcare professionals with the culinary knowledge and coaching skills necessary to support patients in making lasting, healthy lifestyle changes. With 13 carefully curated courses, the Food Coach Academy offers an unparalleled educational experience that bridges the gap between clinical knowledge and practical, hands-on coaching.
This program is particularly tailored for healthcare professionals—such as dietitians, nutritionists, nurses, and health coaches—who are looking to expand their credentials and deepen their impact on patient health. By integrating culinary education with essential coaching techniques, the Food Coach Academy empowers professionals to provide more comprehensive, effective guidance to their clients.
