The DSC/MAO/Schwartz Center Film Series

Nourishing The Kids of Katrina

Date: Wednesday, December 16th, 2009
Time: 5:30-7:30
Location: O’Keefe Auditorium, Massachusetts General Hospital

The Disparities Solutions Center, the MGH Multicultural Affairs Office and the Schwartz Center are co-hosting a film series throughout 2009. The goal of the Film Series is to raise awareness of health disparities and cross-cultural care among health care providers through the screening of popular and documentary films, followed by expert panel discussions and question-and-answer periods.

Join us for our sixth event in this series as we air Nourishing the Kids of Katrina: the Edible School Yard. This film follows renowned chef Alice Waters' Berkeley "Edible Schoolyard" program as it contributes to the rebirth of the New Orleans uptown poor black Green Charter School after its devastation from Hurricane Katrina. Following the film will be an interactive panel discussion led by experts in the field including film director Robert Lee Grant. More details to follow.

Please RSVP to DisparitiesSolutions@partners.org for this enriching event! Refreshments will be served. This event is free and open to the public.
