ABOUT THE EVENT
Phoenixville Public Library will host a free virtual presentation by respected local physician, Dr. Ana Negrón, “Boost Your Immunity… in a Hurry!”, on Monday, April 19 at 7:00 PM. Join Dr. Negrón to learn: the connection between food and chronic inflammation, how to feed your friendly microbiome to boost your immunity, and recipes to develop into a routine.
Born and raised in Puerto Rico, Ana M. Negrón, a board certified family physician in Pennsylvania for over three decades, has made cooking with patients integral to her practice. She assists patients in transitioning to a whole food plant-based diet in order to reduce inflammation, to alleviate the need for many medications, and to help prevent or treat a wide variety of chronic medical conditions. She is the senior faculty member at the Crozer Family Practice Residency in Springfield, PA, and has served as Faculty Preceptor since 1996. Dr. Negrón is a member of the National Advisory Board for Physicians Committee for Responsible Medicine. She has since 1999 also volunteered in practicing at clinics for the uninsured and underserved, and has long served on the board of directors of the Phoenixville Clinic. Her book, Nourishing the Body and Recovering Health: The Positive Science of Food, published by Sunstone Press, emphasizes alternatives to society’s reliance on pharmaceuticals in attempting to address health problems. Dr. Negrón has received a Champion of the Community Award, a Community Betterment Award and a Phoenixville Chamber of Commerce Leadership Award.
