Enhancing Health with Plant-Based Nutrition: September 17

Northwest VEG and Adventist Health have teamed up to co-sponsor a conference where health care professionals (MDs, NDs, DOs, RNs, RDs, etc.) can learn about caring for patients via plant-based nutrition. Continuing education credits available.

Four world-renowned physicians - Michael Klaper, Michael Greger, Milton Mills, and Gordon Saxe - will present the latest clinical research on preventing and treating diabetes, prostate cancer, colon disorders, and other ailments. Plus, an internationally recognized dietitian, Brenda Davis, will present a "how-to" session on designing plant-based diets for patients.

This unique conference, entitled Enhancing Health with Plant-Based Nutrition, will be held from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. on Friday, September 17 at Adventist Medical Center in Portland.

Although this conference is aimed at the medical community, attendance is open to all. However, due to space limitations, only the first 100 registrations can be accepted. A vegan lunch is included. Discounts for "early-bird" registrations and full time students apply.

The National College of Natural Medicine is a supporting sponsor for this event.
