LOGISTICS
HEALTH CARE
A hospital stay is often a daunting an overwhelming experience for a patient. Being uninformed about the medical process contributes to a stressful stay - a counterintuitive experience when patients place an enormous amount of trust in the system.
Our soon to be launched program - Supper with a Scientist - is a new approach, with an age-old solution: bringing people together in the spirit of celebration, to build new relationships, to learn about science from an expert...and to do it all over the joy of sharing food.
