Newsletters

September's newsletter features a short video of our Executive Director, Liz Wiley, after being presented with the Community Partner Award from the United Way of Greater New Bedford (UWGNB). The Marion Institute received the award for our work focusing on promoting health equity, advocating for food justice, and building resilient communities during this challenging past year. There's also a ton of new information on the BioMed for Practitioner's Certification Course Series that we are launching this fall with Dr. Dickson Thom, ND, DDS. Enjoy!
