As
part of the statewide Mass
in Motion Project, "1422
Project" funded by the Massachusetts
Department of Public Health, three speakers were invited to present their recommendations
on how best to understand and work with large food retailers at a workshop
held on June 20, 2016 at the Tower
Hill botanic Garden in Boylston, MA. Mass
in Motion Fall River Coordinator Julianne Kelly and SSTAR
Community Prevention Coordinator Eric Andrade, who is working on the
project with Ms. Kelly, suggested the workshop following some initial work
that Eric had done with consultant Susan Phinney (known as "Phinney").
The two of them were joined by Michael
Rozyne of Red Tomato and Lola
Omolodun of the Metropolitan Area Planning Council for the half-day
event. Strategies for building cooperation with large grocery chain stores
to achieve some of the food-related goals of the 1422 Project were
presented and discussed. The project is
part of a new designed to improve opportunities for
physical activity and to help people at risk for diabetes and high blood
pressure to become more active and to eat a better diet. Click
