Making "Med City" Healthier | Mayor Kim Norton, Mei Liu, Dr. Jengyu Lai
The honorable Kim Norton is mayor of Rochester, Minn., also known as Med City.
The city is home to the Mayo Clinic, one of the most advanced and well-respected medical facilities in the world.
Despite the advanced treatments available and world class physicians, the area is not immune to the health challenges that have invaded the majority of American cities. Mayor Norton is fighting to change that.
She was an early champion of children's health and worked hard to curb childhood obesity.
"The Weight Loss Champion" Chuck Carroll is then joined by Mei Liu and Dr. Jengyu Lai, who operate the Rochester Clinic. The facility is treating patients using lifestyle medicine practices, including providing them with fresh fruit and vegetables grown at the clinic's on-site garden.
The difference afforded to the patients to be given a "prescription for produce" is immeasurable for their health and long-term outcomes.
The interviews were recorded at the Lotus Health Foundation's Lifestyle Medicine Symposium in Rochester.
Join Chuck and Dr. Will Bulsiewicz at Dr. Barnard’s Bon Voyage Bash in Miami on March 7!
