On Feb. 27, 2014, ProMedica and the Alliance to End Hunger are holding Come to the Table, a half-day summit in Washington, D.C., to encourage other healthcare organizations to also address hunger as a health issue and federal legislators to protect food-related programs and policies. We want to make hunger as a health issue a national priority among healthcare providers and those who oversee funding for the means to help end hunger.
