July 25, 2012 - Schweitzer Fellow for Life Interviewed on Boston Neighborhood Network News

As a 2008-09 Tufts-Schweitzer Fellow, Maura Schorr Beaufait worked to address food insecurity by developing and implementing a garden-based nutrition education program in Somerville elementary schools.

Four years later, Beaufait is the Healthy Food Access Coordinator at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC)’s Bowdoin Street Health Center — and as she tells Chris Lovett of Boston Neighborhood Network in this clip, she’s working to expand low-income Dorchester residents’ access to healthy foods (including fresh vegetables, fresh fruit, and — most recently — fresh, wild-caught fish).
