Question:

Would you have examples of organizations that have employed food coaches that we could take a look at?

— Cathy McConnell

Answer:

I have a list of organizations that have hired health coaches, um, community healthcare workers and things like that when it comes to food coaches. Kathy, you'd be one of the first out there. So, um, but I actually am reaching out to workforce development in, uh, the states. Uh, we are gonna be coming a certified program for, um, the WEOA funds, if you know what that is. And, uh, so organizations that I foresee having jobs are definitely employers that wanna reduce the cost of the amount of healthcare expenses for their employees. So I'm in the space right now. I do consulting in an employer space, so employers, hospitals for sure they have those community healthcare workers, hospitals, anything to do with healthcare. This is you, you would be hired by them. I can answer that question because I can see where culinary medicine experts are working. They're working in private farms, they're working in afterschool programs, they're working in hospitals, they're working in creating a teaching kitchen to, as a community health worker, uh, anywhere where somebody, some organization is trying to change the health of that individual is where you're gonna see opportunities for employment as a food coach.
