    Wolfson Campus Wellness Luncheon: "Urban Quality of Life on Display"

    I loved attending this event! I tested my blood pressure and the Medical Campus table gave me so much information on how to continue building a healthy lifestyle for myself and my family. I was introduced to a company that provides healthy and affordable food options in downtown Miami, their goal is to use a similar model to fast food chains (McDonalds, Burger King, etc.) where no meal is priced over $10 and they deliver.
