Brooklyn Borough President Eric L. Adams extended an invitation to all New Yorkers, especially medical industry professionals and his health-conscious neighbors, to attend the public conversation he hosted with influential physician Michael Greger, MD, the New York Times best-selling author of “How Not to Die.”

Borough President Adams has credited Dr. Greger and his book, which focuses on the role of diet in preventing, stopping, and reversing chronic disease, as a catalyst in successfully turning around his Type 2 diabetes diagnosis last year.

He presented the talk in the Courtroom of Brooklyn Borough Hall on Friday, September 8th at 6:00 PM in partnership with the Coalition for Healthy School Food, a nonprofit organization he is working with to help introduce and promote plant-based nutrition in the borough’s school cafeterias.

Borough President Adams highlighted the impact that Dr. Greger’s work has had on his life, and what he believes his message on preventive health care can help all Brooklynites.
