I wanted to let you know that there will be a Youth Eating Disorder & Nutrition Awareness Panel Discussion with the Hartford Delegation at The Village, 1680 Albany Avenue in Hartford on Wednesday, March 30th, beginning at 6 p.m. Parking will be available in the general parking lot.

The panel discussion aims to address eating disorders in young people. There will also be a focus on general nutritional awareness as National Nutrition Month wraps up.

The free event will be moderated by Connecticut House Speaker Matt Ritter. The panelists will include: Dr. Laine Taylor (The Village for Families & Children), Dr. Jennifer Downs (Hartford Healthcare's Institute of Living), Dr. Melissa Santos (CT Children's Medical Center), Dr. Kelly Maynes (CT Children's Medical Center).

I am also planning to attend this event and participate with members of the Hartford Delegation including, Senator Doug McCrory, State Representatives Minnie Gonzalez, Julio Concepcion, Maryam Khan, Joshua Hall and Edwin Vargas.

I hope you can join us for this informative discussion.
