These services increase awareness and work to create change throughout the community. I collaborate with community establishments such as school districts, camps, pediatricians and family physicians, hospitals, local businesses and non-profit agencies, and restaurants to participate in food allergy education, to develop standardized food allergy procedures and policies, and to coordinate events and community networking opportunities within the food allergy community. The goal of these services is to spread the message of safety AND inclusion for ALL food allergic individuals in a community, because, as the African Proverb says, “it takes a village…”!
